Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for most runs in a calendar year in ODIs. In 1998 he scored 1,894 runs in just 34 matches at an average of 65.31. He scored 9 centuries and 7 fifties that year with a top score of 143.

His inning of 143 against Australia at Sharjah in 1998 is still one of the most impactful ODI innings of his career. It was a dream year for Sachin when he scored nine ODI hundreds in a year in 1998.

Even after more than 20 years, Sachin's record for most ODI runs in a calendar year remains unchanged. On a couple of occasions, players reached their tally of ODI runs in a year, but could never overhaul Sachin's figures achieved in 1998.
