Taylor's ODI career now spans 22 years and four months, taking the mantle from Tendulkar, who retired from the 50-overs format in 2012 after playing for 22 years and three months.
Tendulkar remains the highest run-scorer in ODIs (18,426) and the format's most capped player with 463 appearances.
Taylor, 40, emerged as one of Zimbabwe's most prolific talents in 2004 and has scored a national record 11 hundreds in 207 ODI games heading into Tuesday's match.
Taylor retired in 2021 and was banned for three and a half years in 2022 for breaching the ICC’s Anti-Corruption and Anti-Doping codes.
After serving the suspension he came out of retirement in 2025 with Zimbabwe gearing up to co-host next year's ODI World Cup with South Africa and Namibia.
