The wait is not yet over for the cricket lovers as Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar missed his 100th ton by just 6 runs in the third Test at the Wankhede stadium on Friday when he nicked one delivery by Ravi Rampaul.
Its been seven months that Sachin has been waiting to achieve the iconic milestone but Friday morning once again, it was just not be. Sachin had scored his 99th ton against South Africa in the World Cup in March 2011.
Resuming on an overnight score of 67, Sachin scored well above run-a-ball strike rate on Friday morning as the countdown to his 100th ton had begun.
The Windies even tried the short stuff, trying to unsettle Tendulkar but soon the master was in full flow, driving and cutting like only he can.
There’s little chance that India will be batting in the second innings provided the state of the match and one might have to wait for another month for the elusive 100thcentury as Sachin’s expected to miss the ODI series against West Indies keeping in view, the upcoming tour of Australia. The tour begins on 26th December with the boxing day test in Melbourne.
