Sachin Tendulkar 15
For all the records Tendulkar holds in one-day internationals, it shouldn’t be a surprise seeing him feature on the top of the list. Tendulkar, across six World Cups, has 15 half-centuries and 21 scores of 50-plus. Of the 15, six came in a single edition – in 2003. In his maiden World Cup, Tendulkar struck three half-centuries, followed by another three in 1996, just one in 1999 and 2007, and two in his final appearance in 2011. In addition, Tendulkar also has the most centuries in World Cup, six. (AFP Image)

Jacques Kallis 9
After Tendulkar, Kallis’ nine half-centuries are the most by a player in World Cups. Kallis played five World Cups, the first of which was in 1996, in which he tallied just 63 runs across four innings. Three years later, Kallis struck four half-centuries, followed by a dismal show at home in 2003. In 2007, Kallis registered three fifties and one century to amass 485 runs helping South Africa reach the semi-final. His final World Cup, in 2011, was somewhat of a mixed bag with 225 runs coming at an average of over 32 and two half-centuries. (AFP Image)
