The wait for over an year has finally ended as the master scored a patient 100 against Bangladesh. Tendulkar, who scored his 99th ton on March 12, 2011 was hoping to score a hundred but destiny eluded him for 1 year but finally it was March 16th 2012, when the legend got this milestone.

We thank the Master for his achievements which has taken Indian cricket to new heights and wish more such milestones to be created in near future.

In what could be a great news for sport fans, the government today decided to widen the scope of Bharat Ratna after The Prime Minister accepted the recommendations from Ministry of Home Affairs.

Bharat Ratna is country’s highest civilian award and was earlier awarded only in the field of Art, Science, Literature and Public Service. But now it has been expanded to “excellence in all fields of human endeavor.”

Sports Minister Ajay Maken tweeted, “Bharat Ratna for any sportsperson would be a big big day for Indian Sports!”

With growing echoes to give Bharat Ratna to Sachin, now it looks almost certain that Sachin Tendulkar will get India’s highest civilian award in coming days.
