Best of Sachin

119* v England, Old Trafford, August 1990
Tendulkar's first Test century was a significant one, earning India a draw in the second Test against England at Old Trafford. Having made 68 in the first innings - taking 54 minutes to get off the mark - he emerged at number six in the second with his side toiling to save a draw having been set an unlikely 408 to win. Batting in a pair of Sunil Gavaskar's pads, his style echoed the legendary opener as he put on an unbroken 160 with Manoj Prabhakar. His only real alarm came when he was dropped by Eddie Hemmings on 10, after which he displayed astounding maturity and class for a 17-year-old.

Tendulkar's Journey to 100

1973: Born April 24, Mumbai.

1988: Scores 100 not out in his first first-class match for Bombay against Gujarat in the Ranji Trophy, becoming the youngest cricketer to score a century on his first-class debut, aged 15 years and 232 days.

1989: Makes Test debut for India against Pakistan in Karachi at the age of 16. December - Makes ODI debut against Pakistan but is dismissed by Waqar Younis without scoring a run.
