On March 16, 2012, the legendary batsman smashed his 100th international century against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup. It was also his 49th ODI century, along with the 51 centuries he registered in the longest format of the game. He scored 114 off 147 deliveries, but couldn’t prevent a defeat for his team.

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 on the list, but with 71 centuries.

Ponting is followed by Kohli, who is currently standing at 70 international tons. 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.
