Sachin Tendulkar’s legendary ODI career produced 18,426 runs in 463 matches, including 49 centuries. Fourteen of those came in losing causes. His epic 175 against Australia in Hyderabad in 2009 nearly pulled off a famous chase of 351, but India fell short by three runs. In the 1996 World Cup clash against Sri Lanka, his 137 was overshadowed by Sanath Jayasuriya’s blitz, leading to India’s defeat.
