May 31, 2017
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar –also praised as the little master and master blaster – has scored more centuries in One Day International [ODI] and Test formats of Cricket. 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.
17. 128 off 131 Against Sri Lanka in Colombo
Before July 7, 1998 the West Indian batsman Desmond Haynes used to enjoy the status of being the most 100s scorer in ODI cricket with 17 ODI centuries but on this day Tendulkar profoundly claimed partnership with Haynes in this record as he scored his 17th ODI century in R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo against Sri Lanka. This was the final of the Triangular Singer-Akai Nidahas Trophy. Interestingly it was the same stadium where Sachin scored his 1st ODI century back in 1994. On that day Tendulkar made 128 runs off 131 balls and became Man of the Match for this match winning ton.
