Sachin Tendulkar scored his hundredth international century against Bangladesh on 16 – 03 – 2012.
To quote Sanjay Manjrekar, ' Far too many extraordinary factors have to come together for this feat to be replicated.’
Sachin would still be Sachin even had he not scored his 100th ton.
His muted celebration showed how much he has been hurt by the comments by his critics that he often scores the runs for himself. After reaching hundred he pointed his bat to the crest of his helmet to show that he has been doing all this for the country and the team. As it turns out the people of India are happier now and more at ease than Sachin Tendulkar himself. He said he felt like being relieved of at least fifty kilos off his shoulders. This 100th ton issue was only created by the media and he admitted that he apparently felt the pressure of it. He appeared hurt even in his post innings interview when he expressed no one talked about his 99th, in fact I would say his critics fail to understand he scored his 100th after scoring 99 centuries many of which helped India win matches.
There is only one Sachin and there will never be one again.
I am really grateful to be born in a country where a man called Sachin walked and talked, mostly through his deeds. He is called God, not merely for his cricketing abilities. His qualities as a person are that of a monk. To me he is a self realized master, one of my gurus.
