Known as the Master Blaster and the Little Master, Tendulkar scored 15,921 runs in Test cricket and 18,426 runs in ODIs, finishing his career with 34,357 international runs. He became the first batter to score a double century in men's ODI cricket in 2010 and was a key member of India's 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup-winning team. He retired from ODI cricket in 2012 and played his 200th and final Test match in November 2013. Sachin Tendulkar's career includes some of the most searched cricket records and achievements in the sport, including 100 international centuries, 200 Test matches, the highest aggregate of international runs and six Cricket World Cup appearances. He was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2019 and received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, in 2014. After retiring from international cricket, Tendulkar expanded his career into business, investments, brand partnerships, philanthropy and sports development.
