Sachin Gets Hundredth Hundred

  

Sachin Tendulkar on Friday made history by becoming the first cricketer in the world to score 100 international centuries .Tendulkar, who already has a lot of runs and records to his credit, achieved the incredible milestone when he turned in the Asia Cup match against Bangladesh here.The star batsman first looked heaven-wards and then acknowledged the cheers of his teammates and the crowd by lifting his bat.

He had gone 33 innings and a year without a century. The right hander made his 99th international ton in a World Cup match against South Africa in Nagpur on March 12.Since then it had been a long wait for him,

and his fans.

He is also the first batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in ODIs, a feat he achieved in Gwalior against South Africa in February. This feat was included in ’Time’ magazine’s top 10 sports moments of the year.

His father’s death had a deep impact on him and Tendulkar still looks heavenwards whenever he crosses a milestone to seek his blessing.
