On March 16, 2012, the legendary batsman smashed his 100th international century against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup. It was also his 49th ODI ton, along with the 51 centuries he registered in Test cricket.

Tendulkar scored 114 off 147 deliveries, but couldn't prevent a defeat for his side.

It is also worth noting that Sachin's achievement has an outlandish meaning in international cricket. After his 100 centuries, it is Ricky Ponting, who is second in the list, but with 71 tons.

Ponting is followed by Kohli, who has scored 70 hundreds. The margin between Sachin and other cricketers in reaching the milestone is huge, and it could take a long time for someone to reach the landmark.

Tendulkar is also the highest run-scorer in Test and ODI cricket with 15,921 runs and 18,426 runs respectively. In total, he played in 200 Tests, 463 ODIs and a single T20I match.
