Retired International XI of the decade
Several teams are in their transition phases due to the retirement of many greats since 2010.
Sachin Tendulkar
The man who defines cricket, the man who needs no introduction when we talk about cricket. The great Sachin Tendulkar has left that kind of a mark in the world of cricket with the help of his impeccable cricketing skills over the years. He has been a living phenomenon whenever he stepped onto the cricketing field. Sachin’s international cricket career lasted almost two and a half decades.
Sachin has played a staggering 664 international matches for India over 24 years. In the 463 ODIs, he has amassed 18,426 runs at an average of 45 which also include 49 centuries. But he is not the legend of only one format. His Test records are also outstanding. He has scored 15,921 runs in 200 Tests at an impressive average of 54. He has 51 centuries to his name in this format.
Though Tendulkar already had two records under his belt namely highest run-scorer in ODIs and highest run-scorer in Tests, he was still missing the most illustrious trophy of them all, the ultimate World Cup. After being unsuccessful to win the World Cup 5 times in the past, he finally won it when he featured in the tournament for a record 6th time in 2011.
