He had 99 international hundreds and everyone was waiting for the god of cricket to score his 100th century, which happened on this day i.e. March 16, 2012 against Bangladesh.

The great Sachin completed his 99th century against South Africa in Vidarbha Cricket Association on 12 March 2011, playing an inning of 111 runs in ODIs. After this, he kept on touching the charismatic figure for a long time. The day also came when Sachin completed the 100th century of international cricket career by playing an innings of 114 runs against Bangladesh played in Mirpur during the Asia Cup 2012.

Waiting for 369 days, 23 matches and 34 innings
When Sachin completed the third figure, cricket fans all over the world bowed down and welcomed his achievement. It was a habit to raise the bat after a century and look at the sky, but this time there was a different kind of relief on his face.
