Sachin , India's longest serving soldier

Player Career Span Matches Period
Sachin Tendulkar 19 years 26 days 155* Nov 1989 – Dec 2008
Lala Amarnath 19 years 24 Dec 1933- Dec 1952

83'rd International Hundred :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Most importantly the team wins and a well built innings. Highly uncharacteristic though with just 9 fours. Nevertheless well played Sachin.

Guess all of them were achieved 8-).

Milestones by Sachin in the coming ENGLAND series
We all know that Sachin is the synonym for Records. Whatever he does on the field goes into records books.

Few more feathers will be added to his cap as follows:

Tendulkar needs six runs to complete 2,000 Test runs against England. He will become the second Indian batsman to aggregate 2,000 runs against England after Sunil Gavaskar (2,483 in 38 Tests @ 38.20).

— Having already scored 2,748 runs against Australia, Tendulkar will also become only the second Indian and 11th batsman overall to aggregate 2,000 runs against TWO opponents. Others to do so are Allan Border, Geoff Boycott, Sunil Gavaskar, Graham Gooch, Wally Hammond, Desmond Haynes, Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards and Steve Waugh. Gavaskar and Lloyd have performed this feat against THREE opponents!

— Tendulkar needs 93 runs to aggregate 1,000 runs in Test matches in the year 2008. This will be the fifth such instance for Tendulkar to reach four-digit mark in a calendar year. Tendulkar had scored exactly 1,000 in 1997, 1088 in 1999,1003 in 2001 and 1392 in 2002.

— Tendulkar will also equal the world record of aggregating 1,000 runs in a calendar year on MOST occasions. West Indian Brian Lara and Australian Matthew Hayden have performed this feat on five occasions. Sunil Gavaskar, Ricky Ponting and Jacques Kallis are the other batsmen to have done so on four occasions.

— A win in either of the Chennai and Mohali Tests will make Sachin Tendulkar the first Indian to appear in 50 WON Tests.

have three more years 8-) (for next world cup)
If he continues in this phase, i'm sure 50 100s in ODI will be done. 8-) Since no of test matches are comparatively lesser, 50 100s in test may not happen. :?
