6 Records held by Indian cricketers that are impossible to break
There’s a famous saying - “Records are meant to be broken” and is one that provides inspiration that nothing is impossible in the field of sports.
2. 100 centuries of Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar has arguably been the most complete batter of all-time, and arguably the greatest player the game has ever produced. Known as the God of Cricket, Tendulkar has scored tons of runs and breached several records in his 24-year-long illustrative career.
Tendulkar has a total of 100 centuries in international cricket – 51 in Tests and 49 in ODIs. No one is even closer to him; former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting is in the second spot with 71 centuries and India’s run-machine Virat Kohli is in the third spot, who is often believed to break Tendulkar’s 100 centuries record. However, Kohli has stuck to 70 centuries over the past three years and it appears that the RCB batter will not surpass Tendulkar as he was believed earlier.
Meanwhile, Tendulkar achieved this historic feat at the Sher-e Bangla Stadium in Dhaka against Bangladesh during the 2012 Asia Cup. He played a knock of114 which included 12 boundaries and a maximum. It was his 49th ODI century but interestingly his first against Bangladesh. With fitness issues looming over the careers of players and inconsistent team selection in the modern era, this record looks impossible to break.
