Centurion: It was a century that the entire nation was eagerly awaiting from Sachin Tendulkar and he ensured that Indians had a ‘Super Sunday’ as he completed a historic 50th Test century against South Africa at the Centurion today.
The moment Sachin found a gap through the extra cover region to push a Dale Steyn delivery for a single, the entire stadium stood up to salute one of the true legends of the game.
It is Sachin’s 175th Test match — most by any player in the history of the game. It took him four Test matches to reach the milestone after having scored his 49th against Australia in October this year.
He played 197 deliveries and 258 minutes to reach the milestone. He hit 12 boundaries and a big six over long-off with left-arm spinner Paul Harris being the sufferer.
