Sachin Tendulkar, the star of the Indian Cricket Team, completed his 17,000 runs in One Day International and scored a century today. The match (India VS Australia) was in hyderabad and sachin scored his 45th century and it was his 9th against Australia.
He scored 175 runs on 141 balls in the match and performed quite good. He was playing good, but Indian supporters were disappointed when McKlay took his wicket.

Well, this was one of his best innings. The end really disappointed me though, but I enjoyed his fours and sixes .

Two matches are still left in the series, I hope he will be performing well in them too.

Good Luck Sachin. Thumbs Up to you …!
