Entire career of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar is filled with records in every cricket genre whether its test match, ODI, or World Cup. The 47-years old cricketer has started playing cricket at national levels at 16 and broke record of Sunil Gavaskar in 2005.

The God of cricket, Sachin holds several records such as cricketer with Longest ODI career, Most ODI centuries, Most 90s in career, and many more. However, Virat became the second after Tendulkar to score fastest 22000 international runs. But one title is still far from him i.e. Cricketer with Most International centuries in Test.

Sachin has scored 51 centuries in test matches whereas Kohli has scored only 27 centuries in 91 matches. There is huge gap between the numbers of centuries in ODI as well where the Indian captain has only 43 hundreds in 254 ODIs. Dhoni is, however, very far away from these records.

He brought storm in the world of athletes when he created history in 100m race by finishing it within 10 seconds.

2009 World Cup Championship was the event when Bolt completed the race in 9.58 seconds. Even champion athletes like Yohan Blake could not reach closer to 9.5 seconds. But, Japanese Sprinter Justin Gatlin surpassed Usain by finishing the race in 9.45 seconds setting a new world-record.
