Most Tests played - 177. Many of Sachin's signal achievements are a function of his sheer longevity in the game - 22 years and counting. He's on course to becoming the first player to notch up a double century of Test matches, having left behind Aussie iceman Steve Waugh, who is in second place with 168.
Most ODIs played - 453 & Most consecutive ODIs played - 185. Sanath Jayasuriya, who made his swansong in England this year, is in second place on 445. They are the only two to touch the 400-mark.
