We'll look through cricket in further detail. A century is an innings in which one batter runs a hundred runs without being hit. That is really difficult for me to achieve. Alastair Cook is the oldest player to reach the age of 38. But that is not the all-time record held by Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar retired in 2013 at the age of 100. Tendulkar is known as the "God of Cricket."
