Sachin Tendulkar The Don Makes a Ton Of Ton



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.
