Sachin Tendulkar became the first cricketer to score
100 international centuries after his one hundred against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup in Dhaka.
It has been over a year since he hit his last, against South Africa in Nagpur in a World Cup match, which is the longest time that it took a century, since its first test century against England at Old Trafford in August 1990 and his second against Australia almost two years later, in January 1992.
Tendulkar has now reached 49 and 51 ODI centuries in tests and has continued to make 114 before being dismissed.
He raised his arms to heaven in a muted celebration before being congratulated by the fielders of Bangladesh.
Tendulkar, who reached his century off 138 balls, made his first international ton in 1990 against England at Old Trafford at the beginning of what has developed into a wonderful career. Today was the 38 years of the 49th and its first ODIs against Bangladesh.
Sachin Tendulkar, the top scorer of all time in both tests and ODIs, had to wait over a year to create his latest piece of history. He failed to register a century touring India in England, the home series against West Indies and the tour of Australia.
Tendulkar, the top scorer of the first implementation plan in the history of the test and one-day cricket, has made a ton most coveted by taking a single off Shakib Al Hasan against Bangladesh in Asia Cup. Tendulkar century came out 138 balls and was studded with 10 fours and a six.
The 99th century master blaster came against South Africa March 12, 2011, in Nagpur during the World Cup. Friday the 49th century was Tendulkar in one-dayers, he has 51 test centuries.
Tendulkar, who was left stranded on 99 international hundreds for one year and four days, played Test series against England, the Caribbean and Australia. He also presented in the recently concluded triseries in Australia, but his attempt to become the first batsman to score 100 international hundreds have gone unheeded, even though he came close a few times.
Tendulkar has defied age and injury at every stage of his career. Whenever injuries threatened to block his career, he pushed his body to the limit and sometimes beyond. Even the most threatening of all injuries - tennis elbow pain (in 2004) - could not break it. He screamed in agony, waiting hopefully for nearly a year, he tackled with determination and finally conquered it like only he can.
In February 2010, Tendulkar became the first cricket world to score a double hundred one-day internationals, while in December 2010, he became the first to score 50 Test tons, the two points mark obtained against the best pace attack Cricket World - South Africa.
Wisden, considered the bible of cricket, named Tendulkar as the cricketer leading the world for 2010.
Dravid finished his career with 13.288 test tracks - just behind Tendulkar (15,470 in 188 Tests) - in 164 matches with 36 hundreds and 63 half centuries and an average of 52.31, the 270 against Pakistan being its score highest.
Dravid said he thought it was the right time for him to call it quits while young players take Indian cricket forward.All the best for your future Dravid. 
"I made some mistakes in recent games after 20 and 30, trying to middle every ball, which does not always happen in international cricket. This is a very special feeling, probably my best of one day rounds so far, "said, adding they would be rooting for Australia in Friday's game against Sri Lanka.
With a 4-0 victory over the beating India in the Test series which concluded in August 2011, Britain became the team test new No.1. And that too by moving the current No. 1 team in India.So now, England are on top of the version the longest and shortest of the game (remember they are the defending champions of the T-20 World Cup).
England had no such luxury. Only a miracle could have taken this position. And the miraclehappened as the captain Andrew Strauss and coach Andy Flower. Both of them deserve credit for the success of England. But there is one important factor that changed the destiny of this team. Former England captain Michael Atherton in "opening" his autobiography wrote about the difference between English and the Australian team. He cited "pride" that the critical factor in the success of Australia. He says he always felt the English players were low on pride when it came to play for their country. He said one of the main reasons for the failure of England was the lack of pride and motivation while playing at international level.
Sachin Tendulkar fans are so obsessed with his 100th hundred who missed avery interesting piece of statistics.
