Sachin scored a great century 12 years ago
Tendulkar is the only cricketer to score 100 centuries in international cricket.
New Delhi. Sachin Tendulkar, one of the greatest batsmen of the world, had to wait for a long year to complete his 100th international century. However, when the Master Blaster made a great record of centuries in international cricket, Team India had to be disappointed in that match. This great record of Sachin is still safe. 12 years ago, Sachin had scored his hundredth century in the Asia Cup against Bangladesh in Dhaka. Although the Indian team lost that match. This was Sachin’s 49th century in ODIs and 100th overall.
Sachin Tendulkar had achieved this feat at the age of 38. Team India gave a wonderful gift to Sachin by winning the ODI World Cup in 2011. Sachin had to wait for almost a year to reach 99 to 100 centuries. He scored his 99th century in international cricket against South Africa in the 2011 World Cup. The joy of Master Blaster’s 100th century faded when India was defeated by Bangladesh by 5 wickets in that match.
