The Little Master has finally brought up his incredible 100th 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).
