Number of times a player scored 50 Name/Matches/MOM/Success Sachin 395 124 &nb sp; 31.4% Jayasuriya 398 89&n bsp; 22.4% Saurav 302 9 3 30.8% Lara 299 82 27.4% Ponting 280 &n bsp;85 30.4% V. Richards 187 56 29.9 % Dravid 327 93 2 8.4% Gilchrist 268 65 & nbsp;24.3%
Whichever way you look at it... Sachin has been most consistent and probability of his contribution is highest compared to his peers... the ratio of MOM and MOS will clearly tell how he has been the most succesful in making India win....
Now go and look at being the losing side... he figures most in the list... check all this in cricinfo.... in short he was one man army!
factor the huge people expectation and criticism he has to go though... and you will realise everyone else would have died of cardiac arrest... i do not remember anyday when Saurav or Dravid were expected to perform as he was!!!
