# International Cricket Runs Milestone Achievement

This question tests knowledge of cricket history and individual player records across all international formats (Tests, ODIs, and T20Is).

He was the first player in cricket history to cross the 50,000-run milestone, a record that stands as a testament to his consistency and longevity in international cricket over 24 years.

The correct answer is (B) Sachin Tendulkar, who became the first cricketer ever to score 50,000+ international runs across all formats.
