Sachin Tendulkar set a new
record of the most capped player
in Test history by appearing for
the 169th time in the third and
final Test match against Sri
Lanka at P. Saravanamuttu
Stadium, Colombo on Tuesday
(August 3).
The master blaster who made his
Test debut against Pakistan at
Karachi on November 15,1989,
took 20 years and 261 days to
set the record of playing the |
highest number of
Test matches. Australian Steve Waugh who
made his Test debut against India at
Melbourne on December 26.1985, played
his 168th and last Test match after 18
years and seven days against the same
opponent at Sydney on January 2,2004.
In a
career stretching almost 21 years,
Sachin Tendulkar has missed 14 Tests. He
missed his first one in his 12th year in
international cricket, when he didn’t
tour Sri Lanka in 2001 – India lost that
three-Test series 1-2. Since then Sachin
Tendulkar hasn’t played in the first two
Test matches when Australia toured in
2004-05, two-Test series in Zimbabwe in
2005-06, four Test matches in the West
Indies in 2006, a Test against Pakistan
and two against South Africa in 2008-09.
Sachin Tendulkar’s Test career is so far the
11th- longest in international cricket.
It’s the longest, though, among players
who’ve started their careers after 1971.
India
achieved victories in 56 Test matches,
drew 67 and lost 45 in 168 Test matches
when Sachin Tendulkar was the member of
the team.
Sachin
Tendulkar has broken every possible
batting record in international cricket,
including those for most runs and
centuries in both formats —one day
internationals and Test cricket. Yuvraj
Singh had revealed last year that the
younger players in the squad fondly
refer to Tendulkar as “grandfather”. “We
call him grandfather. Someone who has
played the game for so long and is a
legend and still wants to improve; it is
just amazing. He still wants to bowl in
the nets, he still wants to improve,”
Yuvraj had said.
The
thoughts,
Sachin Tendulkar says, go back
to his first Test, in 1989, after which
he thought he would never play a Test
again. One-sixty-seven Tests later he
says, “It’s been a long journey. I still
remember the first Test I played. It was
a completely different feeling
altogether, compared to any form of
cricket I had played. And since then it
has worked out pretty well and Very
happy that I have had this privilege of
such a long journey at the international
level.”

List of
international cricket centuries by
Sachin Tendulkar |
|
 |
Sachin Tendulkar is an Indian
cricketer. He has scored
centuries (100 or more runs) in
Test matches and One Day
International (ODI) matches,
organized by the International
Cricket Council. Tendulkar has
scored a total of 51 centuries
in Test matches and 47 centuries
in ODIs; both are world records
for highest number of centuries
by a batsman. |
In Test
matches,
Tendulkar has scored centuries
against all the Test-cricket playing
nations. He is the second batsman to
score 150 against all test playing
nations. He has scored a century in at
least one cricket ground of all
Test-cricket playing nations, except
Zimbabwe. On 11 October 2010 Tendulkar
also broke West Indian Brian Lara's
record of 19 scores of 150-plus by
hitting the 20th against Australia in
Bangalore; Australian Don Bradman
achieved this 150-plus mark on 18
occasions.[1] He leads the list of
century-makers, ahead of Ricky Ponting
who has made 39 Test centuries.[2] His
first Test century was achieved against
England in the Test match played at Old
Trafford, Manchester in 1990, where he
scored 119 not out. His highest score is
an unbeaten 248, against Bangladesh in
2004 at Bangabandhu National Stadium,
Dhaka.
Tendulkar, among his 50
centuries, has scored six double
centuries and remained unbeaten on 15
occasions. His centuries have come in 30
different cricket grounds with 27 of
them being scored in venues outside
India. Just short of a century, he has
been dismissed eight times above the
score of 90.[3]
In ODIs,
Tendulkar has scored centuries
against 10 different opponents. He has
scored centuries against all cricketing
nations that have permanent One Day
International status, except Bangladesh.
His first ODI century was against
Australia in the 3rd match of the Singer
World Series, held in the R. Premadasa
Stadium at Colombo in 1994. He is the
first and the only batsman to score 200
not out in ODI, which he scored against
South Africa at the Captain Roop Singh
Stadium, Gwalior in 2010. His 47
centuries in ODIs is a world record,
followed again by Ricky Ponting who has
29 centuries.[4] He has scored 18 ODI
centuries in home grounds and 28
centuries in away or neutral venues.
Seven of these centuries were hit at the
Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium at
Sharjah. He has been dismissed 19 times
between the score of 90 and 99 and 17
times between the score of 80 and 89.[5]

It
took nearly 40 years of waiting
and it was well worth it. Sachin
Tendulkar chose one of the
better bowling attacks doing the
rounds, to eclipse the record
for the highest score, before
bringing up the first
double-hundred in ODI history.
The spectators at the Captain
Roop Singh Stadium became the
envy of cricket fans as they
witnessed one of the country's
favourite sporting heroes play a
breathtaking innings which not
only set up a 153-run
annihilation but also the series
victory. He may have been
run-out cheaply in the previous
match, but nothing could deny
him today - be it bowlers,
fielders, mix-ups or cramps.
Dinesh Karthik, Yusuf Pathan and
MS Dhoni stood by and admired as
the master unfurled all the
shots in his repertoire. |
 |

At
36,
Tendulkar hasn't shown signs
of ageing, and his sparkling
touch in both forms of the game
has ruled out all possibilities
of him checking out anytime
soon. Fatigue, cramps and
paucity of time have stood in
the way of batsmen going that
extra mile to get to the
200-mark.
Tendulkar did cramp up
after crossing 150, but he
didn't opt for a runner. His
experience of 20 years at the
international level came into
play in this historic innings,
staying at the crease from the
first ball to the last, never
once losing focus. There were no
chances offered, no dropped
catches, making his innings
absolutely flawless.
A swirl of emotions must have
run through his mind as he
approached one record after
another but he ensured he was
never lost in the moment. His
running between the wickets
remained just as swift as it had
been at the start of the
innings. The humidity in Gwalior
was bound to test him but he
stood above it all and played
like he owned the game, toying
with the bowling with a mix of
nonchalance and brute power.

In the 46th over, with a
flick for two past short
fine-leg,
Tendulkar
broke the record for the
highest ODI score, going
past the 194 made by
Zimbabwe's Charles
Coventry and Pakistan's
Saeed Anwar, and to say
that he acknowledged his
feat modestly would be
an understatement. His
muted celebration on
going past 194, true to
style, made his innings
all the more endearing.
He didn't raise his bat,
merely shook hands with
Mark Boucher and simply
carried on batting amid
the din. Coming from a
man who is not known to
showing too much emotion
with the bat in hand, it
wasn't surprising.
He reserved his
celebrations for the
magic figure of 200,
which he reached in the
final over with a squirt
off Charl Langeveldt
past backward point. He
raised his bat, took
|
off his helmet and looked up at
the skies and it was only
fitting that one-day cricket's
highest run-getter reached the
landmark.
Tendulkar's innings featured
strokes of the highest quality,
but his true genius was
exemplified by one particular
shot which rendered even the
best bowler in the world
helpless. In the first over of
the batting Powerplay - taken in
the 35th over - Dale Steyn fired
it in the block-hole for three
deliveries outside off to keep
him quiet.
Tendulkar, feeling
the need to improvise, walked
right across his stumps and
nonchalantly flicked him across
the line, hopping in his crease
on one leg to bisect the gap at
midwicket. A helpless Steyn
watched the ball speed away and
merely shrugged his shoulders.
There was no use searching for
excuses or venting frustrations
at the temerity of that shot. It
was just that kind of afternoon
for the bowlers.
It wasn't all just about the
cheekiness of his shots. His
timing and placement were the
hallmarks at the start of his
innings. On a road of a pitch
which offered no margin of error
for the bowlers, he squeezed out
full deliveries past the covers
and off his pads. With no seam
movement on offer, Jacques
Kallis took the slips off and
placed them in catching
positions within the 15-yard
circle, hoping to induce a
mistake. But
Tendulkar outplayed
all of them, making room to
manoeuver it past a number of
green shirts. There were a
minimum of two runs on offer
each time the ball was placed
wide of them and the quick
outfield did the rest.
Once he got his eye in, the
short boundaries and the flat
pitch were too inviting.
Virender Sehwag's dismissal for
11, caught at third man, was
just an aberration as Karthik,
Pathan and Dhoni traded cricket
bats for golf clubs. Driving and
lofting through the line had
never been this easy. Tendulkar
could have driven them inside
out in his sleep.
The two century stands, with
Karthik and then with Dhoni, may
well get lost in the scorecard
but they were vital building
blocks. Karthik rotated the
strike well in their stand of
194, struck three clean sixes
and helped himself to his
career-best performance. That
partnership sent out ominous
signs to the South Africans that
they were in for something
massive. Add Dhoni's bludgeoning
hits and scoops and you had a
score in excess of 400.
Tendulkar reached his fifty
off 37 balls and his century
off 90. Ironically, he
struck his first six - over
long-on - when on 111.
Pathan bashed it around at
the other end, clubbing full
tosses and short deliveries
in his 23-ball 36, as India
amassed 63 runs in the
batting Powerplay. The South
African seamers made the
mistake of trying to bowl
too fast and as a result,
sent down too many full
tosses and full deliveries.
The unplayable yorkers
remained elusive and
Tendulkar, who was seeing it
like a beach ball, picked
the gaps, made room and
improvised.
He reached his 150 by making
room to Parnell and chipping
him over midwicket with a
simple bat twirl at the
point of contact. The
heartbreak of Hyderabad,
when his scintillating 175
all but won India the match
against Australia last year,
must have lingered in his
mind as he approached that
score again. A towering six
over long-on later, he not
only eclipsed Kapil Dev's
175 but also looked set to
wipe out his own record. He
started clutching his
thighs, indicating that
cramps had set in, but even
that could not stop him
today.
He equalled his highest
score of 186 by pulling a
lollipop of a full toss off
Kallis and broke his own and
India's record with a single
to square leg. Fortunately,
he didn't have to do much
running and played the
spectator's role for a
change as Dhoni bulldozed
his way to a 35-ball 68,
muscling four sixes. The
Dhoni bottom-hand is the
strongest in the business
these days and the exhausted
spectators had enough energy
left in their vocal chords
to cheer him on as well.
The record of 200, however,
was yet to be attained and
the crowd were desperate for
Tendulkar to get the strike.
Dhoni tore into Steyn for 17
off the 49th over and
retained the strike for the
50th. After hammering the
first ball of the 50th for
six, he shoveled a full toss
to deep midwicket where
Hashim Amla made a brilliant
save. Tendulkar settled for
a single and the crowd were
on their feet as they
watched him make history. It
was all the more fitting for
another reason because it
was on this very day, back
in 1988, that he and Vinod
Kambli added a mammoth 664 -
then a world record - in a
school match.
There was to be no repeat of
the 434-chase at the
Wanderers, when South Africa
took guard, perhaps mentally
and physically shaken after
the assault, and with a
partisan crowd to contend
with. AB de Villiers'
attacking ton got completely
lost in the chase as South
Africa merely went through
the motions. It was all a
question of how quickly
India could wrap it up.
Herschelle Gibbs, Hashim
Amla, Roelof van der Merwe
and Jacques Kallis all got
out cheaply within the first
15 overs. de Villiers
motored along at more than a
run-a-ball, and collected 13
fours and two sixes. South
Africa had to rely on the
services of nine men to
muster 200 - for India one
man sufficed.
Tendulkar's knock drew
parallels with Brendon
McCullum's frenetic 158 in
the IPL opener in Bangalore
two years ago. The match was
all about individual
brilliance but not a
contest. While such games
are good in small doses, for
one-day cricket to survive
on the whole, it needs more
contests between bat and
ball.
personal life :
Tendulkar was
born in Bombay (now Mumbai).
His mother, Rajni, working
in insurance,[22] and his
father, Ramesh Tendulkar, a
Marathi novelist, named
Tendulkar after his
favourite music director,
Sachin Dev Burman.
Tendulkar's elder brother
Ajit encouraged him to play
cricket. Tendulkar has two
other siblings: a brother
Nitin, and sister Savita.
|
Tendulkar attended
Sharadashram
Vidyamandir (High
School),[1] where he
began his cricketing
career under the
guidance of his
coach and mentor,
Ramakant Achrekar.
During his school
days he attended the
MRF Pace Foundation
to train as a fast
bowler, but
Australian fast
bowler Dennis Lillee,
who took a world
record 355 Test
wickets, was
unimpressed,
suggesting that
Tendulkar focus on
his batting
instead.[23]
When he was young,
Tendulkar would
practice for hours
on end in the nets.
If he became
exhausted, Achrekar
would put a
one-Rupee-coin on
the top of the
stumps, and the
bowler who dismissed
Tendulkar would get
the coin. |
 |
If
Tendulkar passed the whole
session without getting
dismissed, the coach would
give him the coin.
Tendulkar
now considers the 13 coins
he won then as some of his
most prized possessions.[24]
While at school, he
developed a reputation as a
child prodigy. He had become
a common conversation point
in Mumbai circles, where
there were suggestions
already that he would become
one of the greats. His
season in 1988 was
extraordinary, with
Tendulkar scoring a century
in every innings he played.
He was involved in an
unbroken 664-run partnership
in a Lord Harris Shield
inter-school game in 1988
with friend and team mate
Vinod Kambli, who would also
go on to represent India.
The destructive pair reduced
one bowler to tears and made
the rest of the opposition
unwilling to continue the
game. Tendulkar scored 326*
in this innings and scored
over a thousand runs in the
tournament.[25] This was a
record partnership in any
form of cricket until 2006,
when it was broken by two
under-13 batsmen in a match
held at Hyderabad in India.
