Cricket enthusiasts and fans across the globe are celebrating a landmark moment in the history of the sport as they commemorate the 13th anniversary of Sachin Tendulkar’s unparalleled achievement of scoring 100 international centuries.
On this day in 2012, during a match against Bangladesh, the legendary Indian cricketer achieved what no other player in the sport has managed—a feat that cements his legacy as one of the greatest batsmen of all time. Tendulkar’s record includes 51 centuries in Test cricket and 49 in One Day Internationals (ODIs), making a combined total of 100.
The cricketing community recognizes this record as one of the most significant milestones in the sport’s history. Though many consider Indian cricketer Virat Kohli to be the closest contender to this achievement, he still requires 18 more centuries to match Tendulkar’s total.
The anniversary serves as a reminder of Tendulkar’s unmatched dedication, skill, and contribution to cricket, inspiring generations of players and fans alike.
For cricket lovers, the memory of this milestone remains a testament to Tendulkar’s monumental impact on the game.
