All ODI Centuries Made by Sachin Tendulkar; 18- Against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo
June 01, 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.
18. 127 off 130 Against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo
1998 in general and September 26 of the year in particular were so lucky for Sachin Tendulkar. The former because Tendulkar made 9 centuries in the year which is in itself a world record of most centuries in a year and the latter because on that particular day Sachin made his 18th ODI century by which he became the first ever ODI player to score 18 ODI centuries as he surpassed Desmond Haynes, the fabulous West Indian Player who had scored 17 ODI centuries before Sachin Tendulkar. In this match –which was held at Queens Sports Club at Bulawayo, against Zimbabwe –, Tendulkar scored unbeatable 127 runs off 130 balls and became Man of the Match for contributing a century in India’s victory against Zimbabwe.
