    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, Aug 14:<\/strong>&nbsp;It was on August 14, 1990, when legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar announced himself on the international stage by scoring his first Test hundred -- the first of his 100 overall centuries which he struck during his stellar 24-year-long<br \/>\r\ncareer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tendulkar, who was just 17 at that time, played a brilliant knock of 119 against England at the Old Trafford in Manchester and saved the match for India.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In that game, England skipper Graham Gooch and his opening partner Mike Atherton had each scored a century as they posted a mammoth first inning total of 519.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Kapil Dev-led side gave a strong reply as they managed to score 432 runs in the first innings, conceding a 87-run lead. Tendulkar contributed with 68 during the course of this inning.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the second innings, England declared their second innings at 320\/4, putting up a target of 408 for India.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India started their chase on a poor note, losing their top order inside 110 runs. At one stage, India were 127\/5 and with almost two sessions remaining, it looked unlikely that India could sustain much resistance.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, Tendulkar had other plans as he struck 17 boundaries in his 189-ball knock to help India reach 343\/6 at the end of day&#39;s play. Although it ended in a draw, the match provided the cricket world with a glimpse of what they were about to witness from this great prodigy in the years to come.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tendulkar, in his international career that extended for more than two decades, scored 100 centuries (51 in Tests and 49 in ODIs) -- a record that remains unbroken till date.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
