How many Tests have India won when Sachin Tendulkar scores a hundred?
To date Sachin Tendulkar has scored 34 Test centuries, and 11 of them (32.35%) have been in matches that India went on to win. Eight of them came in matches that India lost, and 15 in draws. That percentage puts him a fair way down the list of players with ten or more Test centuries - Adam Gilchrist is on top there, as 11 of his 13 centuries (84.62%) have come in matches that Australia went on to win. Australians dominate the top of this list - Damien Martyn is second, with nine of his 11 Test tons so far leading to wins (81.82%), and Don Bradman is third. He scored hundreds in 28 Tests, and Australia won 22 of them (78.57%). Then come Michael Slater, Matthew Hayden, Steve Waugh and Mark Waugh, before the first non-Aussie - Inzamam-ul-Haq, who has scored centuries in 20 Tests, of which Pakistan have won 15 (75%). Warwick Armstrong scored centuries in six matches, and Australia won the lot - he's one clear of yet another Aussie, Darren Lehmann, there (centuries in five Tests, five wins). At the other end of the scale Bevan Congdon of New Zealand and India's Vijay Manjrekar both made centuries in seven Tests, but didn't finish up on the winning side in any of them. Jimmy Sinclair of South Africa uniquely scored three Test centuries in his career, and ended on the losing side each time.

Many people are surprised to see so many people going against Mr. Tendulkar.
#1. People who know cricket and watch cricket know how Tendulkar exploited the opportunity.
#2. People who do not watch enuf cricket or just see it in news/media (or are his relatives) favor him.
#3. Personally speaking he is a great player but somewhere in his career he thought of becoming CAPTAIN and started POLITICS, making 100 and getting out... but he forgot its all about HABBIT ... and now that became his habbit getting out around 100 ... how many 150 scores he has?
#4. When Sorav ganguly and Dravid scored centuries in England ... he ust have felt bad coz until then He was having Monopoly... in Hindi - Andhon mein kana raja.
#5. with Sehwag came in the side and became famos (try to think how may people talked abt tendulkar when Sehwag was going great) it became obvious that Openers can make centuries even if they dont have technique! In fact Sehwag holds better records than Sachin I would love to see Sachin scoring 300 in an innings.
#6. Sachin is best - provided he quits politics.
#7. If you remember his back pain politics - when he used to score 70 odd and hold his back and then india will loose... I thought either he should have taken retirement or get his back fixed. But don't mess with Cricket.
