Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has scored his 100^th century against Bangladesh in Asia cup.

Sachin Tendulkar became the first batsman to score a 100 international centuries, getting to the milestone against Bangladesh at the Shere Bangla stadium in Mirpur at 5:05pm local time on March 16, 2012.

It ended a year-long wait for one of the most discussed milestone in the history of cricket, and was Sachin Tendulkar’s first ODI century against Bangladesh, completing his set of centuries against every country in both Tests and ODIs matches.

The stadium had been less than half-full when the match started, but as Tendulkar’s innings progressed, more and more people came in and by the time he completed his hundred there weren’t too many empty seats.

There were frantic phone calls from reporters in the press box, back to their bosses, discussing long-ready compliment packages and whether the innings should replace the national budget as the front-page lead.
