It's probably going to be a few decades before an extremely talented player topples this record.

Geez only his 14th? The way anti-Sachin people make it out to be, I thought almost 30-50% of this centuries were in a losing cause.

Waiting for a follow-up report from him.

[Jadukor]

Congratulation to the little master. It's a pleasure to see him bat and execute those strokes with surgical precision. I hope he keeps playing because with Warne, Wasim, Lara, Murali gone he is the last of the legends playing the game right now.

Congrats Tendu.
Great achievement - a milestone for world cricket.

Why the people say when he scores 100 his team loses? He scored century but most of the time his bowlers couldn't defend the target. That's not his fault. He didn't have the luck like Ponting who had world class bowling line ups to support him.

Losers!!!

Tendulkar does not score enough hundreds in wins, goes the popular refrain. It's a claim that has been strengthened by some of his recent centuries: on the tour to South Africa in 2010-11, Tendulkar scored hundreds in two out of three Tests, but India won the game in which he didn't score one. In the World Cup that followed, India tied and lost the two matches in which he scored hundreds. And then, of course, there was the 100th hundred itself, which resulted in India's first ODI defeat against Bangladesh in five years. That means none of Tendulkar's last five international hundreds have resulted in victories.

Overall, though, 53 of his hundreds have come in wins, and 25 in defeats. Of those 25, eleven have been in Tests, but that's only reflective of the fact that in difficult conditions he has often fought a lone battle with very little support from the rest of the batsmen.

What is true, however, is that only one batsman has scored more hundreds in wins in international cricket - Ponting has 55, and sits at the top of the table. Tendulkar is next on 53 - they were level on 53 before India's tour of Australia - while the next best is Kallis on 33. Tendulkar has also scored 24 hundreds in losses, which is well ahead of Brian Lara's 17. Overall, Tendulkar's innings per hundred in wins is about half that ratio in defeats.

I thought he meant 14/100

[Jadukor]

Those who are questioning Tendulkar's match winning credentials probably were babies in the nineties when tendul alone and later on tendul and ganguly carried a super loser type team for a decade. Those of us born in the eighties can never diss tendul like this because we have seen how he played at the height of his abilities. As murad pointed out the stats are there for all to see.

While among those so-called match-losing hundreds are the 175 against Australia two years ago, 143 v Australia at Sharjah in 1998 and the 141 v Pakistan in a 320 run chase in 2004.

[Tigers_eye]

Congrats.

Top man, don't need to say much. Not many cricket players will be so warmly celebrated by opposition supporters.

It was in between overs. They had a very little time.

[Tigers_eye]

hahaha!! scoring 100 is too easy as it may seem for some.

1 ta 100 martey parey na abar criticize koray.

Not that I care at all, just an observation. He didn't even dress properly. I know it's only the BD prime minister but still have some courtesy.

[zinatf]

Good observation. What to say.....if professionals like him don't dress properly who's to blame?
