Sachin gets Wisden India Outstanding Achievement award for completing 100 hundreds

Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar was awarded the Wisden India Outstanding Achievement award for completing a century of 100 international hundreds. Tendulkar had achieved the milestone while playing against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup in March. The event was organised by FidelisWorld and the iconic batsman was presented with a trophy. Made from crystal, it features a cricket ball resting on the open pages of a book, says media report.

“The 49 one-day international centuries that Tendulkar has made are listed on one side, and his 51 Test hundreds on the other. Tendulkar spoke on various aspects of his career at the function such as his favourite innings - the match-winning fourth-innings hundred against England at Chennai in December 2008 - balancing play and personal life, and the influence that his late father had in shaping his career,” says an Indian Express report.

Meanwhile the Governing Council of the IPL, headed by Rajiv Shukla, will meet in Mumbai on Tuesday to take stock of the last edition of the event that concluded on May 27.

According to a report in The Tribune, fine knocks by Suhail Sharma (93) and Sandeep Sharma (81), who added 177 runs off 155 balls, helped Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) beat last year's champion Collage Group by 74 runs and enter the final of the 37th Raghubir Singh Hot Weather Cricket tournament, played at the Modern School ground here on Monday.
