A long wait for the coveted landmark came to an end as Sachin Tendulkar scored his 100th century on Friday against Bangladesh at Dhaka.
Sachin Tendulkar's incredible cricketing journey reached a momentous destination in Mirpur on Friday. The maestro became the first cricketer to notch up 100 international centuries when he scored 114 against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup ODI tournament.
The little big man, who innovates and creates, had carved out another big slice of history for himself, his country and the game itself. However, the celebratory mood in India was a tad dampened by the team's five-wicket loss to Bangladesh in the contest.
Tendulkar's international career began way back in November 1989, against Pakistan in the Karachi Test. Cricket's most complete batsman continues to ride on the highway to glory.
The 38-year-old Tendulkar now has a magical collection of 51 Test and 49 ODI hundreds. Australia's Ricky Ponting is next in the list of international centuries and he is way behind his great Indian rival with 71 hundreds.
Tendulkar's phenomenal achievement reflecting a cricketer's ability to adapt to different formats and situations, technique, fitness and desire was, ironically, achieved in a rather low key setting against a lower ranked cricketing nation.
Yet, the enormity of the moment for cricket cannot be understated.
Immense strength of mind had been a key attribute in Tendulkar's quest — when this gifted batsman does not conjure, he constructs — but the long and often agonising wait of 370 days for his century of centuries could have stretched even this cricketing giant's belief.
Tendulkar's 99th international hundred arrived against South Africa in Nagpur on March 12, 2011. The period after those heady World Cup days at home proved testing. It took 11 Test matches and 13 ODIs, before Tendulkar kissed the crest on his helmet in Mirpur after reaching his landmark.
Tendulkar might have remembered his first hundred – a wonderful unbeaten 119 of balance and timing in the Old Trafford Test against England in 1990. His maiden ODI century — 110 versus Australia in Colombo in 1994 — took a little longer to come but by now he was well on his way to breaking most batting barriers with a heady mix of poise and aggression.
As a formidable No. 4 in Tests who could survive and conquer in all conditions or a marauding opener in the ODIs who found gaps with a surgeon's precision or blasted the ball over the infield, Tendulkar has got to the pinnacle and stayed there. The passion still burns bright in the man.
The earlier agency copy has been replaced with the Correspondent's copy.
Salute the master! Every cricketer and cricket-loving Indian fan should be proud of his achievements. Well done Sachin!
Hearty congratulations to Sachin.
One only has to glance at some of the comments made by self appointed "critics" to see how much Tendulkar has to overcome in addition to playing the game itself. Some here hold him responsible for the loss of the match to Bangladesh. Great, if only he scored 200 at a strike rate of 400 making allowances for all the full tosses gifted by Pathan and Praveen, we probably would have won! As for the "minnow" Bangladesh tag, it is the only country against whom he had not scored a century until now. Not to forget that they won against India in the 2007 World Cup!
It really a milestone Sachin passed & the fact nobody can touch even in future, Now the time is Sachin has to rewind his career he start to play in style like how he was started his career & create fear in the heart of bowlers again...... only you can do this sachin .... don't think about the retirement .......... there is nobody available on this date who can take your place...
It is sad to note that people are thinkng when Tendulkar as a batsman making century, India loosing the game. As the prime Responsibility of a Batsman, he is hitting the century, which adds to team's scores, gives fighting target to opposite team. Likewise why other Batsman are not hitting centuries, why bowlers are not taking lot of wickts and creating history. Why the blame is only on Sachin and not on the rest 10 team members, who are failing to achive their Role/Responsibility/Strength/potentiality/game plan/skills. At the same time why we are not able to appreciate the strength and skills of opposite team, who are taking away the match.
Even though yeterday India lost gainst bangaladesh, we have two reasons to chearup.
1. Now sachin is hassle free to play as his 100 century is over. So let us see whether can be perform well or not.
2. The cricket selection board can decide on his fate to include or exclude in the team
So the upcoming matches will be crucial for sachin as well as bci
I have read in newspapers that, before this innings starts the ‘Little Master’ alone has done the net practice vigorously in previous days. It shows his commitment to this play. That is why he could have done this rarest feat. After this achievement he has rightly opined that, “All these days all are talked about my forth coming 100th century only they are not bother to talk about my ninety nine centuries already achieved by me".
It is the huge deserved slap on face of those who criticize him unnecessarily in these critical days.
Sachin makes 100 but India loses the match!
Deja vu !!
The boy next door was saying "good bargain" !
I told him no one will believe his nonsense.
End of the day it's not about winning... It's about the records . We anyway have good record against Bangladesh ! So though we lost this match , look at the gain ... Tendulkar has a genuine reason to play the next match atleast .
This is a clear cut example of Sachin's selfishness. His run rate
while making this record was the cause of India's defeat against
Bangladesh and may even result in Team India being knocked
out of the Asia Cup. This has been a very costly price to pay for
an achievement which took more than a year to reach and that
too against a minnow.
Now that the record has been reached with this high cost the
selectors should no longer include him in ODI teams. Sachin can
end his career by playing in the IPL where he can earn some
more for his seventh oncoming generation.
Though he was a great player, his selfishness made him a poor
example of sportsmanship and a miserable member of Team
India. It is high time he retired from all forms of cricket.
What good are individual accomplishments if a team does not win and has a high lose/win ratio? Could someone tell us of the hundred 100s of Sachin, how many of these were in a game that India eventually won or how many helped force a draw? True that to win you need bowlers to take the 20 wickets in a Test or contain and/or take 10 wickets in a one-day game. With the same crop of bowlers, Dravid and VVS in my view seem to have won more Tests for India.
Over to you folks for some insights.
Sachin completed world record and 100th century in his total career. My congratulaions for such achievement. Here is my question, whether Sachin can score a century on any big team like Australia, South Africa, Pakistan etc. He scored 100th century on minnows Bangladesh but wasted and stood as stand by for completion of 100th century umpteen times. Gone are those days that Sachin is the asset of Indian cricket, now he turned as burden/white elephant which is unberable. He just put the game at stake for his 100th century like any cricket player from Mumbai. It is proved several times.For example, Sandeep Patil he was a great cricketer but after a course of time he became burden to the BCCI. Another example is Mr.Sunil Manohar Gavaskar. Mr. Gavaskar made only one century in one dayers by putting India's win at stake in Australia in the Australestia cup in 1985/86. In that match, Gavaskar came as opening batsman and completed his maiden century in one days. We lost that match.
How fool of us Indians. We have made heroes in cricket at the cost of
the Team. Here we are celebrating 100th century whereas the important
thing was that we lost to Bangladesh. This shows our preferences. We
were interested in 100th century only whether we loose or win, "What a
pity on us". We have made certain individuals about the game. Thanks to
our crippled mentality.
Too much is being made about the records of Sehwag, Tendulkar etc.Many have been made in pitches like Gwalior, Indore etc with questionable pitches and mostly against weaklings. Hero worshipping Indian Cricket fans should wake up to International realities.What a dreadful sight to watch them in England, Australia. Were the pitches doctored there.An International Cricketer should be able to play under all pitch and bounce or spin conditions.At least now Indian Young Cricketers can get a move on.The quiz masters have a new data!!!
Great Record. That is should come against Bangladesh, is what queers the pitch.
It's a good day for cricket. Whoever played to win, they won. whoever
played for records, they lost.
This is a great achievement in world of cricket for any cricketer and
Sachin is truly a genius to catch it.I think this is a right time for
Sachin to retire with a great respect to make place for youngsters in
final eleven.
So Tendulkar's century was much more important than the match itself? It
is very clear that our cricket team looks for individual's streak of
brilliance in a match rather than collective efforts from the players to
win to keep the country's flag flying!
Heartiest congratulations Sachin. Your contributions to cricket will be lauded for ever. We want a triple century in test. Now this is our dream, you will conquer one day. All the best for your futute.
There is a poetic melodrama about Sachin’s hundredth hundred. Firstly,
he was available for this Asia Cup, despite not being a part of the
previous two Asia Cups. His involvement in this series didn’t seem
convincing to me, rather selfish reasons seemed to be behind his
selection. Secondly, he scored one of his slowest ODI hundreds, that
too on a flat wicket, that too against Bangladesh. It was a baffling
sight to behold.
The bowlers may be directly blamed for the loss, but Sachin’s slow
scoring was the main reason for India's inablity to post a good enough
total. In the end, Sachin’s hundred was in a losing cause; rather
probably his 100th hundred caused India to lose.
I respect Sachin’s impeccable record, and I am glad his 100th hundred
had a context to it, even if it wasn’t a positive one. But, I want to
congratulate Bangladesh for preventing delirious and hyperbolic
celebrations of Sachin’s achievements. In the end, its relieving that
no player is bigger than the game itself.
What is the point? India lost to Bangladesh because Sachin took his time
(147 balls) to score his century. Anyone can score 100 centuries if they
play forever. He should retire gracefully now like Rahul Dravid did.
Here comes the century of centuries to bring up the century of centuries!!! congrats Sachin...
Pangs without birth fruitless industry as Shakepeare said. Operation successful patient died
hava a fun
Hopefully now Sachin would now gracefully retire...
Any comment I dare make will I am sure cannot describe the man and the exploits and how he has made the nation proud. I bow my head to honour this great but humble cricketer.
Finally we have it. Let us see if Sachin can score another hundred aginst Pakistan in the next match, to make his one day total to 50 hundreds, that would be 50+ in tests and 50 in ODI, a double that may never happen. Hopefully he can win that match and put India in the final and hopefully he says bye to ODI cricket after ASIA cup.
Sachin ton is going in vein since Bangladesh might win.
Congratulations Sachin!!!!!!
This has been proved earlier and now too that no one is above cricket
and sachin tendulkar.
No one > Cricket
Cricket = Sachin Tendulkar
Hence No one > Sachin Tendulkar Proved.
GOD bless the master and let the world again see the dynamic Sachin
showing his sheer exceptional class with his brilliant innings. I have
said earlier and repeating again that something very special is yet to
come from the genius. Wait and watch!!!!!
Thank you Bangladesh!.
He could have achived this mile stone much earlier if he was allowed to play against Kenya, Gana, afganistan, Neitherland
Congratulations Sachin! We are proud of you!
Cheers to chiranjeevi Sachin on his achievement.
Let Govt bestow this man the highest honour which will feel that is
given to the deserving
Sachin created history but it costed India slow rate of run with a total
below 300. From the 25th over itself India needed to score runs very
fast and cross 315+ because 289 score is makeable by Bangladesh team
easily. The end-result will be known soon - Bangladesh the winner
"Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in ODIs, a feat he achieved in Gwalior against South Africa in February." - Pls correct, there is sehwag too.
Hats of to Tendulkar. He makes millions of hearts smile with his efforts. People forget their sadness, while watching him work. Love you. Proud of u.
Historic moment, but it did not raise his fans to the height of
pleasure, as it was against bangladesh
Sachin - We cannot think of cricket without you being around. Cricket in other words means Sachin. You are the sole emperor who has defined and outlined the feats in cricket. Its a great Honour for all indians and the whole of cricketing world. Congrats paaji
Please Correct "Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who
has scored a double ton in ODIs, a feat he achieved in Gwalior
against South Africa in February."
Correction - Tendulkar is not the ONLY batsman to score a double
hundred. Sehwag scored a double hundred in 2011 at Indore.
There is a factual error in the copy. Tendulkar is not the only batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in ODIs. Virendar Sehwag broke Tendulkar's record with a 219 against West Indies in December last year.
Considering its against Bangladesh, it is nothing much to be proud about. Maybe since
tendulkar has reached his feat, he should consider retirement,
There is a factual error in the article. Sachin Tendulkar is not the
only batsman to have scored a double hundred in ODIs. Sehwag broke
Sachin's record of the highest ODI score against West Indies in Indore,
in the process becoming the second batsman to score a double hundred in
ODIs.
At the cost of Country, he played marathon for his records and not for
country to win a match. It is not as honest as projected.
thank u sachin, you have relieved your fans who were waiting for the
last one year, match after match, for your 100th century ,finally
achieved atleast against bangladesh.hope u will play for ur country now
freely without tensions
There is a factual error in the article. Sachin isn't the only person
anymore to have scored an ODI double ton. He holds it jointly with
Sehwag!
Let us salute this gem of indian cricket.Though belated as per his standard hope will stand for many more years but many even argue that this is impossible by another humanbeing.In fact his humble is much more to be appreciated because it is very difficult to remain cool with billions of expectations.No doubt he carries enormous burden on his shoulders for such a long period, let us leave him hereafter to play for his passion.Request media not to pressure him anymore.This legend deserves bharathrathna for his achievements.
keep up the gud work... we want to see for next 5 more years...
Hats off to Sachin for his continued passion for the game and love for
his nation! I doubt there can ever be another like Him.
On an unrelated note, "Tendulkar is also the only 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 ’Times’
magazine’s top 10 sports moments of the year."
Factual Error. Sehwag scored 219 against WI in December, 2011, making
him the second person to score a double ton in ODIs.
Please take care to ensure accuracy of your reports. That is why we
all read and love The Hindu.
The claim that "Tendulkar is also the only 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 ’Times’ magazine’s top 10 sports moments of the year. " is incorrect.
Shewag also has a double ton to his name in ODIs.
Perhaps he is the greatest batsman we will ever see in our era... so
guys enjoy ur popcorn and be a part of the history...
Congrats Sachin, Now its time for Sachin to retire and give way for new
players. He should indulge in other matters for the country, he can use
his popularity to make some good changes for the country.
"Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in ODIs". What about the Viru's 219? Didn't expect this from Hindu.
Congratulations to Sachin Tendulkar, having survived the expectations
of a billion people everytime, he walked on to bat and in the process
made almost all the cricketing records to his name. Today, he
completed the rare feat of scoring 100th hundred in international
cricket. Hope he continues to play for India and brings joy and cheer
to his countrymen through his game.
P.S: There is a factual error in the statement that Sachin is the only
batsman to have scored a double century in one day cricket. Of course,
Virender Sehwag is the other batsman to have achieved the similar feat
later. Kindly correct the statement.
I would have been thrilled if he had scored this ton against Australia, England, Sri Lanka or West Indies.
"Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double
ton in ODIs, a feat he achieved in Gwalior against South Africa in
February."
--Sehwag has joined the '200 in ODI' club with his 219 knock against
West Indies in 2011.
Congratulations to Sachin but there is something wrong with this report. According to the author, Tendulkar is the only batsman to score a double hundred in ODI's. Didn't Sehwag recently score a double ton too??
"Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in ODIs."
is it?
Copy paste issue. LOL
Thats a shame.even a century against Banladesh is being considered as a record. shame on you, sachin, you have once again proved that you only play for records but not for the team or the country.
Tendulkar is not the only batsman to score a double ton in ODIs. Did you just put up an article which was written a year ago (besides adding few recent things)?
An incredible feat nonetheless. Salute to the Master!!!
Im sure the cricket lovers all over the world shall rejoice...Indians or otherwise..Its a feat that has been witnessed , and hopefully shall not be broken. Sachin too can now let go and blast more runs in the limited time he serves India - now that the 100th Int'national burden (that he was carrying) has been tied and stamped in his name ..Cheers..
Sorry..! Sachin is not the only batsman to score double ton in ODI. But
he is the first.
There are some who are passing adverse comments that he made this century against a weak team but they are forgetting that he did not score all these 100 centuries against weak teams. Most of these 100 centuries came against very strong teams like Australia. It only reminds me of the song by TMS, "Vaazhndhaalum Yesum, Thaazndhaalum Yesum, vaiyagam idhu thaanada". Well done, Sachin! I am sure you will now quickly score another 10 centuries, now that the monkey is off your back.
Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double
ton in ODIs, a feat he achieved in Gwalior against South Africa in
February.
I think the writer is not aware of recent cricketing... Sehwag also
scored 219 in ODI...:) anyway good article...
Thank you Sachin for all the memories. India is proud of you!
Kudos to the greatest player of the game!!!
I would like to draw your attention to the sentence mentioned in the article.
"Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in
ODIs, a feat he achieved in Gwalior against South Africa in February. "
Please dont forget Sehwag's 219 against West Indies, in Indore.
I understand that your good office is as thrilled as any other Indian or cricket lover
anywhere in the world, as the Master-Blaster puts us in cloud nine with his sky-
scraping achievement, but when a news comes from a highly reputed newspaper
like THE HINDU, our expectations are sky high.
Please consider as a request from a family who has been shown the light of the
world for generations through THE HINDU.
"Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in ODIs" Really?????
Congratulations Sachin! We are really proud of you who have become legend and generation after generations would keep on looking upto you for inspiration and motivation to do something great in their life irrespective of filed.
Correction: Sehwag has also made a double hundred in one-day.
Great Sachin. Hats off. You have India proud.
Good time to retire.
Congratulations to the Apotheosis of Cricket on his tons of tons!!!. A feat rarely seen as much as even trying to emulate, a feat that had an aura around it like the hidden land of 'El Dorado' heard but not seen and who else to bring it to reality other than the wizard of batsmanship 'Sachin Tendulkar'. So for all the cynics and the skeptics who cry for his retirement, pause and turn the pages back ,relive the times when the man gave us hope (and still does!), joy and the dream, the inspiration to stretch beyond our limits. We must thank him not only for the countless hours of entertainment but also for teaching us the conduct one has to have to become a champion, always the gracious and ever the dutiful for the country, lets take a bow and the salute the genius on his achievements and thank him for all he had to give to us as a sportsman and as a man of the highest standards of demeanor.
Today the time has came for our god isn't it? It is our indians who have created a lot of ruckus on his century.Because of our presuure he took a lot of time.Anyhow congrats sachin you have acheived all the things in International carrier.Now everyone just stop talking about his game and just let him play as long as he wish.
The 100th ton would have been very impressive if Tendulkar had made it
against a world class and in form team like Australia, Sri Lanka,
Pakistan or South Africa. It is now important that he makes the 101th
ton against such a team to prove he earned this unique recognition.
Giving him the chance to score this ton is owed to him by every
cricketing nation. He should never be denied a place in the team till he
makes this 101th ton and prove any skeptics wrong.
Really sachin is god of cricket and he is playing upto our expectations. There is a small correction. Sehwag also scored double hundred which Sachin will break soon.
"Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in ODIs"
What nonsense?? Sehwag is the topscorer in ODI 219
I think this article is composed well before Sehwag hit the double top.
Please proof read.
It's been long wait. I think he has done enough service to Indian and
International cricket. now it's time for him to contemplate his
retirement.
Glad he made a century. If not, he would have made BCCI to host a series
with Namibia or UAE
sachin u want in my team for long year ,you make more achievements for India
No words about this living legend who is part of the sumptuous game of
cricket over 2 decades... Hats off to you, Sachin!! I'm one of the the
greatest fan of "Master Blaster" among many other million people
around the world... Your wonderful speech after the innings was a good
one!! :) This article has rightly put forth the most celebrated
moments of Sachin. I'm hoping to see him break-through many more
milestones (Sure he is the only one to do so in this decade and many
more to come in the future). I love you Sachin! We're all proud of
you... You're the greatest inspiration for all inspiring, young
cricketers... Kudos to you, Sachin! Jai Ho!
Congrates!! Slaute to you!!
100th-"100" : Time for Bash!!!
At last the wait is over and the moment of rejoice has come. Sachin's
glorious ton has made every Indian special and proud across the globe.
This a huge blow to those who ridiculed him in recent past about his
consistency, perhaps they should now take the side of getting him
Bharat Ratna(Gem of India). Hats off to you Sachin ... :)
Since when is Tendulkar the only batsman to hit 200 in ODIs? What happened to Sehwag's 219 against the West Indies?
Excellent review. If I am not mistaken Tendulkar is not the only
batsman to have scored a double century in one day internationals.
Sehwag also achieved the feat against the west Indies.
Please correct:- "Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who
has scored a double ton in ODIs, a feat he achieved in Gwalior against
South Africa in February."
The article seems to be a collection of write ups accumulated over a period of time hastily put together. It misses the fact that Tendulkar is no longer the only double centurion in ODIs. He now has Sehwag for company...
Shewag has score a double ton..
It is a good article but contradictory to what is mentioned Virender Sehwag also scored a double century in the ODIs.
I thought Virender Sehwag also made a Double century in ODI cricket.
Please crodd verfiy the same and change it i the article.
Excerpts : Tendulkar is also the only 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 ’Times’ magazine’s top 10 sports moments of the year.
Correction : He is not the only player to score double ton in ODIs. He is the first player to do so.
Congrats to Sachin.
But as mentioned "Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in ODIs, a feat he achieved in Gwalior against South Africa in February."
This is also achieved by Sehwag (219)
Congrats .......| Carry on d gud work
Legend who made his ton is expected from all over the world. The Great person. I am very happy to sent a first mail of me in the hindu paper.
"Tendulkar is also the "only" batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in
ODIs"
Please correct
"Tendulkar is also the "only" batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in
ODIs"
Please correct
Virender Sehwag has also made Double Century in ODI. Sachin is not the only one. Though there is
no comparison between the two as it will be unfair to mortals to compare them with gods; But still i
hope if it will be rectified. We do not expect such mistakes from a Daily as awesome as THE
HINDU.
Sachin! Sachin! Sachin! :-)
Only thing that comes out of the heart for this 38 year old charismatic "BOY" ......"RESPECT".
Congratulations Sachin.
Sachin, well done and congratulations! We are proud of you as you are the best the world of cricket has ever or will produce.
Tendulkar is not the only batsman to score double in ODI. Recently that record was borken by Sewagh against Windies in MP
'Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in ODIs' this sentence needs to be corrected since Shewag has surpassed this record
CORRECTION - Tendulkar is not the ONLY batsman to score a double hundred in ODIs. He was outscored by Sehwag.
Shewag has scored an odi double hundred as well
My fellow countrymen
Please do not start the campaign for Bharat Ratna after this century.
Other sportsmen have achieved greater heights and brought glory to our country like Vishy Anand.
Once again sachin proves no age limits to play cricket and get records.
We profusely thank our chairman of selection committee kris Srikanth, for relieving the indian public, from the heavy burden they have been carrying on their shoulders for over a year now.
Sachin can now retire peacefully from One dayers atleast and pave way for other youngsters to carry it forward.
He can grind his test career for achieving other milestones left if any.
we hope that we will win against bangladesh after this century, for sachin carries such a record of losing after scoring century.
Once again sachin proves no age limits to play cricket and get records.
The 100th ton would have been much more appreciated if Tendulkar had
made it against a world class and in form team like Australia, Sri
Lanka, Pakistan or South Africa. It is now important that he makes the
101th ton against such a team to prove he earned this recognition. So he
should not retire until he makes this 101th ton and prove the skeptics
wrong.
Hi Sachin Congratulation For 100 100 U R The Best Cricketer In India
"Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in ODIs, a feat he achieved in Gwalior against South Africa in February"- Sehwag too. Sachin has the slowest ODI century now
Hi,
GOD has done it!!! :D
However, there is a correction -- He is not the only batsman to have scored a double century in ODIs, He is the first. Remember, Sehwag also has a 219 in ODI against West Indies???
Pls make the correction so we give due credit to the Maestro that he is!
"Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double
ton in ODIs, a feat he achieved in Gwalior against South Africa in
February."
Perhaps this article was written long back and as it is said that "Great
things doesn't come easy. They make you work extra hard and they make
you wait extra long."
Congrats Sachin.
Congratulations to Sachin Tendulkar. He has been a great ambassador for
the game of cricket and a great inspiration for Indian sportsmen for
last 23 years.
Sachin Tendulkar has created history when he reached the milestone
against Bangladesh at Dhaka on Friday. He is the first cricketer to
score a century of centuries. It is a feather in his cap. It is a
proud moment for all Indian cricket lovers. It has been a long
wait for Sachin, with a year passing since his 99th century. Congrats
to Sachin. It is high time that he follow the foot steps of Rahul
Dravid and retire from cricket graciously after the Asia Cup.
The statement "Tendulkar is also the only batsman in the world who has scored a double ton in ODIs" is incorrect. Get yuor facts right. Sehwag is also there
Congrats Sachin. Now that the monkey is off your back , we can expect
the fluent sachin back .
India helped Bangladesh liberation in 1971,
Bangladesh helped India’s liberation in 2012 (saving us from endless wait to Sachin’s 100th ton) !!!
Congratulations Sachin. It is a increditable record of you to make 100th century in cricket
history. I hope the record will going to stay for a long time, although records made to break
only. Congrats Sachin
Sachin is happy to retire from Cricket now. He knows that he has to give next generation (or) his son a chance for final cricket 11 team from 150 cr Indian population.
hats off the greatness,immense hardwork and patience of this superman! - rid
Excellent sachin...................
At last !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic.........
critics will not be happy for this............
Finally the monkey is off his back.
Yay! Congratulations Sachin!!!
AWESOME! I don't think anything else needs to be said. His accomplishments speak for itself.
