Filed under Cricket Records

Sachin Tendulkar has most test match century than any other batsman Each and every batsman starts with a duck, a zero. Going off the mark, into double figures, half century and then the magical triple figure individual score.. and in between, you run your partner's runs as non-striker as well as resuming your innings the next day which is very very tiring but less highlighted aspect of cricket. indeed making a test match ton isn't a joke!

Recently, Sachin Tendulkar scored his 42nd test match century against New Zealand at Hamilton which was his second ton in kiwiland..

An array of queries poured into itsonlycricket.com asking how many centuries Sachin's nearest competitor, Ricky Ponting has. Today, the answer stands at 5 but both champion run machines are going strong and it will be interesting to see whether Ricky breaks Sachin's record for most test match century or not by the time he retires.

Dark Horse might turn out to be Mahela Jayawardene of Sri Lanka. He's already close to 30 test match tons and is young. Mahela is ideal batsman of longer version of cricket, is always hungry and since he has given up captaining Sri Lanka, Mahela might rise up the list very quickly in years to come.
