100th 100

Sachin Tendulkar has finally scored the much awaited 100th 100 today. It has come after a gap of one year in the match against Bangladesh in One Day International. It would have been more credible, crucial and helpful if it had come either in England or Australia in the Test Series.

Scoring 100 is not an easy task and by playing both Test Cricket and One Day Internationals our Batting Maestro the Great Sachin Tendulkar has done it 100 times. It is indeed a very unique and astonishing feat.

Whether it came late or did not come against England or did not come against Australia in 2011 but eventually he has achieved this feat. It is indeed a great relief for the Batting Legend himself and also for his die hard fans.

After Don Bradman I think Sachin Tendulkar will be the second best and second greatest batsman to be ever known for his batting records and achievements.

I wish Sachin Tendulkar all the very best and hope he would go on to score some more centuries in Test Cricket and One Day Internationals before he chooses to hang his boots.
