Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar on Sunday became the first man to make 50 centuries in the history of Test cricket during his innings against South Africa at the Super Sport Park, Centurion.
The Master Blaster achieved the milestone in his 175th Test.
His 170-run partnership with captain M S Dhoni helped India to reduce the deficit, giving the team hopes of making the South Africans bat again.
Tendulkar holds almost every batting conceivable record in game, and has 47 one-day international centuries to his name. He is also the first man to make a double century in the shorter version of the game.
His 22-year long career has won him adulation to the point of worship from his millions of fans not just in India, but across the globe.
