Legend Sachin Tendulkar inducted into ICC Hall of Fame

India's legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame at a ceremony in London. One of the greatest batsmen, Tendulkar was honored by the ICC alongside South African great Allan Donald and former Australian women's cricketer Cathryn Fitzpatrick. Tendulkar is the sixth Indian cricketer to become a Hall of Famer. Here are the details.

Tendulkar enjoyed a 24-year long international career and had a massive impact on the game. The maestro played 200 Test matches and 463 ODIs. He scored 15,921 and 18,426 runs respectively. He amassed 100 centuries across these two formats. Notably, as per the rules, a player can only be inducted into the Hall of Fame, at least five years after his retirement.
