March 16: It’s an achievement likely to be owned by just one cricketer. And one that had the world holding its breath in anticipation for over a year. Ever since Sachin Tendulkar scored his 99^th international century in the ICC World Cup 2011 encounter against South Africa at Nagpur on March 12, 2011, the impending feat has pre-occupied the cricketing fraternity: players, experts, fans. It has roused the interest of even those who have little interest in the sport.

The Little Master has finally brought up his incredible 100^th ton, in an Asia Cup encounter against Bangladesh at Dhaka. March 16, 2012 is undoubtedly a red-letter day in the history of the sport; and a day marked by relief, pride and celebration for the legend’s countless fans.

From the time that he scored his first international hundred in a Test match at the age of 17 years and 112 days, Tendulkar has left his stamp of greatness across the world’s most reputed cricketing venues. Of those hundred centuries, some have been simply magnificent (Perth, 1992), some admirable for their tenacity (Sydney, 2004), while others have pushed the boundaries of the game (Gwalior, 2010).

Here is a quick glance at Tendulkar’s list of international hundreds over what has been an extraordinary cricketing career.
