Sachin Tendulkar's 18426 runs is 4722 runs more than the second on the list, Ricky Ponting and 6478 runs more than that of the still playing, Kumara Sangakkarra. So, it is likely to remain intact in the coming decades.

Sachin Tendulkar's 49 hundreds is 19 more than that of Ricky Ponting and 28 more than that of the still playing, Chris Gayle. So this record is very unlikely to be broken in the coming years.

Sachin Tendulkar's 145 fifty+ scores is 33 more than that of Ricky Ponting, second in the list and 48 more than Kumara Sangakkara who is still active in International Cricket. But I doubt he would be able to achieve this.
