New Delhi, April 15: April 15 remains to be a special date in cricket history as two greats of the game -– Sir Vivian Richards and Sachin Tendulkar –- scored centuries 25 years apart.

On this day in 1986, legendary West Indies batsman Richards has scored a 56-ball century against England in a Test match. That remained in the record books as the fastest Test century until former New Zealand captain Brandon McCullum smashed a 54-ball ton against Australia in Christchurch in 2015/16 to take the record.
