The master blaster proved himself again...!!!
One more record added in the history of cricket by "The LITTEL MONSTER".
Sachin Tendulkar, the first ever crickter to score 50 centuries in the history of test cricket.
To silence those who say Sachin plays for records, the master himself trashed those talks on Sunday. "I never think about records. I love to focus on preparation and trying to give more than 100 per cent on the field. I love to play, try and keep improving. If I would have been chasing records, I would not have opted out of few ODIs," said Tendulkar.
However, one can't run away from the fact that Sachin, in fact, is the 'Record Man' of cricket with almost every run-making record having his name inscribed on it. To add to that series, here is a list of some interesting records related to Sachin's Test tons.
- Most 100s against an opponent: 11 v Australia.
- Most 100s in a calendar year: 7 in 2010.
- Most 100s on a ground: 5 at Chepauk (Chennai).
- Most 100s in a country: 22 in India (the most he has scored outside India is 6 in Australia).
- Most 100s on a particular position: 43 at number 4 (he has hit 5 at No. 5 and 2 at No. 6).
- Most 100s under a captain: 15 under Mohammad Azharuddin (in 47 matches).
- Result-wise summary of 100s: 20 in matches won, 19 in matches drawn and 10 in matches lost.
- Break-up of 100s at home and abroad : 22 at home, 28 abroad.
- Innings-wise break-up of Tendulkar's 100s: 20 in first innings of match, 17 in second innings of match, 10 in third innings of match and 3 in fourth innings of match.
NO ONE THERE TO STOP HIM.........
