100th 100

 

It’s been a year and four days, but Sachin Tendulkar has finally done it. He has scored 100 Centuries in international cricket, against Bangladesh on 16^th March 2012 at Mirpur.

Any international century by Sachin is special, and he’s just scored 100 of them. That’s 29 more centuries than his nearest challenger on the all-time list, Australia’s Ricky Ponting having 71 Centuries.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee’s Budget Speech on that day was faded by Sachin’s Tsunami !!

Tendulkar scored his last century on March 12, 2011, against South Africa in a World Cup. It’s difficult to understate this sporting achievement. Scoring 100 centuries is incredible before Tendulkar came along, making his debut in 1989 as a mere 16-year-old, the youngest cricketer ever to represent India.

Now almost at the Age of 40, Tendulkar is in the twilight of his career, yet he still shines as brightly as ever. He is the top scorer in Tests as well as ODIs.

All the Best to the World Champion for Ever..........
