Wisden described his innings as "a disciplined display of immense maturity" and also wrote:

"He looked the embodiment of India's famous opener, Gavaskar, and indeed was wearing a pair of his pads. While he displayed a full repertoire of strokes in compiling his maiden Test hundred, most remarkable were his off-side shots from the back foot. Though only 5ft 5in tall, he was still able to control without difficulty short deliveries from the English paceman."

 Sachin Tendulkar scored his1st ODI Century on Sep 9,1994 against Australia at Colombo,Sri Lanka. It had taken him 79 ODIs to Score a Century.

Sachin Tendulkar has scored over 1000 runs in a Calendar Year in ODIs 7 times, and in 1998 he scored 1894 runs,the record for the highest number of runs scored by any player in a single calendar year for ODI's.
