Dhaka: After a wait for over a year and 33 innings, Indian star cricketer little master Sachin Tendlukar has scored an elusive 100th international century against Bangladesh.
He made 114 runs.
Tendulkar is the first and the only player in Test Cricket history to score fifty centuries, and the first to score 100 centuries in all international cricket combined. He now has 100 centuries (49 ODI & 51 Test cricket) in international cricket. He is the first and the only player to accomplish this feat.
Sachin, who is now 38-years-old, made his debut at the age of 16 in 1989.
It has been a classic Sachin innings so far; easy strokes as he has piled on the runs. The veteran batsman took on the Bangladeshi bowling with confidence and reached the milestone using 138 balls and smashing 10 boundaries and a six en route. During the knock he also became the first batsman to hit over 2,000 boundaries in One Day Internationals.
Tendulkar while talking to Ramiz Raja during inning break said; “It’s been a tough phase for me. I started off the season batting reasonably well, i was luckless. I was not thinking about the milestone, the media started all this, where ever I went, the restaurant, room service, everyone was talking about the 100th hundred. Nobody talked about my 99 hundreds. It was slightly different, the ball was not coming onto the bat. It hasn’t sunk in but I’ve definitely lost about 50 kilos. Dreams do come true. I had to wait for one for 22 years (the World Cup).”
How Tendulkar missed 100th ton since 99th century:
