Tendulkar has scored a total of 50 centuries in Test matches and 46 centuries in ODIs; both are world records for highest number of centuries by a batsman.
In Test matches, Tendulkar has scored centuries against all the Test-cricket playing nations. He is the second batsman to score 150 against all test playing nations. He has scored a century in at least one cricket ground of all Test-cricket playing nations, except Zimbabwe.On 11 October 2010 Tendulkar also broke West Indian Brian Lara's record of 19 scores of 150-plus by hitting the 20th against Australia in Bangalore; Australian Don Bradman achieved this 150-plus mark on 18 occasions.^[1] He leads the list of century-makers, ahead of Ricky Ponting who has made 39 Test centuries.^[2] His first Test century was achieved against England in the Test match played at Old Trafford, Manchester in 1990, where he scored 119 not out. His highest score is an unbeaten 248, against Bangladesh in 2004 at Bangabandhu National Stadium, Dhaka. Tendulkar, among 49 centuries, has scored six double centuries and remained unbeaten on 15 occasions. His centuries have come in 30 different cricket grounds with 27 of them being scored in venues outside India. Just short of a century, he has been dismissed eight times above the score of 90.^[3]

His first ODI century was against Australia in the 3rd match of the Singer World Series, held in the R. Premadasa Stadium at Colombo in 1994. He is the first and the only batsman to score 200 not out in ODI, which he scored against South Africa at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium, Gwalior in 2010. His 46 centuries in ODIs is a world record, followed again by Ricky Ponting who has 29 centuries.^[4] He has scored 18 ODI centuries in home grounds and 28 centuries in away or neutral venues. Seven of these centuries were hit at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium at Sharjah.
