Sachin Tendulkar's 100th International Ton

Sachin Tendulkar became the first batsman to make a 100 international centuries, getting to the milestone against Bangladesh at the Shere Bangla stadium in Mirpur at 5:05pm local time on March 16, 2012. It ended a year-long wait for one of the most discussed landmarks in cricket history, and was his first ODI hundred against Bangladesh, completing his set of centuries against every Full Member country in both Tests and ODIs.

 

Sachin Tendulkar reached the 100th hundred in the 44th over with a nudge behind square leg, one of his favoured strokes to reach a century.

 

 

Despite the huge amount of hype surrounding the landmark, which has shown little sign of abating during the prolonged wait, there was no over-the-top celebration.
The helmet came off and there was a wave of the bat, he looked up at the sky, as he usually does on reaching a hundred, and he acknowledged his team-mates by raising his helmet towards the dressing room.

Several of the Bangladesh fielders congratulated him, even as the decibel-level in the packed stadium reached new highs
