Sachin Tendulkar recorded his 100th international ton this day in 2012
Sachin Tendulkar 100th International Century: The Indian swashbuckler Sachin Tendulkar scored a century of centuries on this day in 2012, his 49th ODI century and 100th overall in international cricket, writing history that no cricketer had ever achieved. At the Asia Cup in Dhaka, The Master Blaster produced an exquisite century against Bangladesh.
The Master Blaster, who was 38 years old at the time, still had a lot to contribute on the field. After eventually winning the ICC World Cup in 2011, Tendulkar’s only remaining task was to achieve a century of centuries, which he did on this day ten years ago.
Sachin Tendulkar had to wait about a year to move up from 99 to 100, so the tonne did not come easily to him. At the 2011 World Cup, Tendulkar hit his 99th international century against South Africa. Tendulkar’s magnificent achievement, nevertheless, came to a disappointing end as Bangladesh went on to defeat India by five wickets.
