His journey of 100s began quite a later in his career but he continuously made the centuries once he kicked off. Sachin Tendulkar has scored 100 centuries in ODI and test cricket being 49 in the former and 51 in latter formats. He is the only batsman to have this honor. Further, he has waved his bat –after making centuries – against all teams that have permanent ODI status in International Cricket Council (ICC). Furthermore, Tendulkar is the first cricketer who scored 200 runs in ODI. His number of 100s would have been much higher had he not been dismissed 18 being the victim of nervous 90s. 33 of his 49 ODI centuries have successfully contributed in India’s victory over the rival teams.
We are going to provide the complete list of his 49 ODI centuries with necessary details.
1. 137 off 137, Against Sri Lanka in New Delhi
This was Sachin’s 2nd Century in World Cup 1996. He made 137 runs off 137 balls against Sri Lanka in Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, New Delhi on March 2, 1996. This was the first century made by Sachin Tendulkar which could not help India win against the other team. The fate of this game was decided in favor of Sri Lanka as Sanath Jayasuriya and Kaluwidharana –being the former Man of the Match– played an out class performance to beat India.
