Explore Sachin Tendulkar's incredible ODI run record and whether Virat Kohli can surpass his 18,426 runs. Key stats and insights on this cricket milestone.
As of September 27, 2026, Sachin Tendulkar remains the leading run-scorer in One Day International (ODI) cricket history. The legendary Indian batsman accumulated an immense 18,426 runs over 463 matches, a feat marked by 49 centuries and 96 half-centuries.
Following Tendulkar is fellow Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, who considers Tendulkar his idol. Kohli has scored 14,797 runs in ODIs and is striving to break his mentor's record. However, he still trails Tendulkar by over 3,000 runs.
Kohli's pursuit of Tendulkar's record is further complicated by the need for sustained high performance and career longevity. While he is expected to aim for the 2027 ODI World Cup, matching Tendulkar's enduring success will be a considerable challenge.
