History on this day in 2010 Against South Africa in Centurion, Sachin Tendulkar brought up his 50th Test century.
Sachin Tendulkar celebrates his 50th Century Test on the 4th day of the first trial against South Africa in Centurion.
You need 484 to make South Africa hit again, that India managed to hit the day thanks to Tendulkar's standings in 172 and MS Dhoni (90) after falling from 190/2 to 277/6 in the morning program. Half of the Tendulkar half came up with a bad shot at midwicket, before Dhoni took three straight wins for Jacques Kallis as he lifted 50 off just 40 balls.
A snorter from Steyn eventually cut Dhoni ten runs out of 100, and in the next overr Harris escaped Harbhajan Sing. India was 454/8 when the bad weather ended in the final over-the-day over, and South Africa properly wrapped up the victory on Friday morning.
The 111 undefeated Tendulkar, who included 13 fours and 1 sixs, could not prevent an innings defeat in the first three of the Tests, but it showed that the Indian team would fight. As it turned out, they won the next match in Durban and drew in Cape Town - where Tendulkar 146 played a big part - to win their first consecutive draw in South Africa.
In the course of his excellent innings, Tendulkar also passed 14,5000 runs in Test cricket.
Best wishes sir Sachin Tendulkar.
