Sachin Tendulkar is just 38 year old and he has scored 51 hundreds in the test match and 49 ODI hundreds. Australian player Ricky Pointing is next in this list with 71 hundreds. Sachin in a press interview said that he would not stop playing cricket because he “loves” cricket and he is passionate towards it.
This is not definitely the end of the game; however this might be a beginning for Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. His incredible journey towards his cricket has met a momentous destination in Mirpur on Friday (March 16th 2012). India played first and set the score for Bangladesh but they became strong through 17 runs given in two overs by Irfan Pathan.
He was the first cricketer to score 100 international centuries. Added to that, he also scored 114 against Bangladesh in this match. Sachin Tendulkar’s cricket career started in November 1989 in a match against Pakistan in the Karachi test. Nevertheless now it’s being at a steady growth towards glory.
Others define him that “he was mastered for scoring in cricket”. However the truth is that Sachin really desired to become a fast bowler, but Dennis Lillee turned that youngster into a batsman and so now we would get a Sachin Tendulkar. If he didn’t do that so we would have missed the batting genius.
The top slot of century is scored in 1992 against Australia match where he scored 114. Then same year he scored 111 against South Africa. In a match played in Birmingham in 1996 he scored 122 where everyone was stun to see such a true batsman and he played a single stroke game.

Also the delay in commissioning of different numerous projects has been led to a very critical situation and so the government forced for announcing a revised schedule in load shedding. Ms Jayalalithaa said in a statement that DMK has not approved any of the power based projects that has been announced by the AIADMK.
The government produced only 206 Mega Watts during the DMK regime period and they have failed take any further steps or to have a concerned government to do some power projects proposed in 2001-2006 by AIADMK. Since, because that DMK didn’t take any prolonged action regarding the power, the Tamil Nadu was not able to share the power sources from the other states also.
Facing critical crisis due to the power cut all over the state the government finalized that on Saturday that there will only be 2 hours power cut in Chennai and 4 hours load shedding in rest of the state. Besides having the power holidays for the industrial units all over the state, this will be made a rule.
From Monday they have announced that 40% power cut will be imposed to all of the commercial consumers and the industrial people. Jayalalithaa stated that there was an agreement dealing with the Gujarat Electricity Board and Tamil Nadu which the DMK failed and refused to accept.
However AIADMK has agreed upon it for getting 500 MW of power but getting only 235 MW due to the shortage in the transmission of it. Though the demand is for 11,500 to 12,500 MW, the government was able to supply 8000 MW which leaves the shortage of about only 3,000 to 4,000 MW.
