100 International Centuries for Tendulkar

Mirpur, Bangladesh became the witness of another milestone set in the history of cricket. 2012 Asia cup, the venue was Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur where India was batting against the local cricket team of Bangladesh and Sachin Tendulkar added another the record to his name....100th century in international cricket. Master blaster was looking in nice touch and he did what everyone was hoping from last one year. He became the first cricketer who hit 100 centuries in his international career.

Although Sachin took more than 12 months to hit set this milestone but everyone was delighted when he completed the 100th run on 16th Mar 2012. Tendulkar made 114 from 147 balls on Friday with 12 fours and one six. In total, India set a target of 290 against Bangladesh.

After achieving the 100th international century, Sachin doesn't looks in any mood of retirement just like his friend Rahul Dravid retired from international cricket last week. He wants to continue the game until he is enjoying it. He told, "My belief is that if I feel I can contribute, I am mentally there where I feel I am bringing value to the team then I should be playing. It's a very selfish thought that when you are at the top you should retire". Well done Tendulkar....Bravo..

Tendulkar broke the 194 record, sets new 200

The man created history again. It was a glorious moment on the 25th Feb when Sachin Tendulkar broke the record of 200 in an innings in the One Day Internationals. After a long period of 15 years, the record of Saeed Anwar was broken by any batsman. 194 was a milestone for any batsman in the ODI matches. They have tried everytime but couldn't reach even close to it. Many batsman including Sachin, Hayden, Ganguly, Ponting, Dhoni, Gilchrist and many other big names tried to reach 194 but they even can't reach 190.

The competition began when an unknown player from Zimbabwe scored 194 not out in an innings. It was really amazing to see a batsman near to the record set 15 years ago by the Pakistani batsman. Sachin has broken all kind of records and set a lot of many other records in the both shows of cricket whether it is ODI or Test matches. But it was a dream for Sachin to break 194 and he did it and what a remarkable fashion...200 not out with 25 fours in an innings..wow...Amazing
