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).”
Bangladesh won the toss and put India into bat.
India: 289/5
