Sachin Tendulkar is regarded as one of the best batters to ever play the sport of cricket. Almost, all batting records in Test and ODI cricket belong to him and till date, he remains as the highest run-scorer in international cricket.
The batter went on to register 100 tons in international cricket, but the first of his centuries came 32 years ago in 1990 against England at Old Trafford.
At that time, Sachin was just 17 years and 112 days old. When Tendulkar had brought up his maiden international ton, he had become the third-youngest player to register a century in the longest format of the game. #OnThisDay in 1990The legendary @sachin_rt scored his maiden international against England at the age of 17 and the rest is history #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/9QiynN8bcL The Master Blaster had taken eight Test matches to bring up his first three-figure mark in international cricket, and in the Old Trafford Test, he went on to score 119 runs off just 189 balls in the fourth and final innings of the Test.
What made the knock more special, was the fact that it helped the visitors walk away with a draw. In this Old Trafford Test, England had won the toss and the hosts decided to bat first.
