Battling against a deadly South African bowling attack, Sachin hit yet another Test hundred. What made it special was that he became the first player to score 50 Test tons.
That's right, after 21 years in the game, he had gone where no man had gone before.

India were trailing by 484 runs in the first innings and Sachin's knock did give them a bit of fight in the second innings. Late on the fourth day, the moment came and the crowd stood as one to give him a standing ovation.
He finished with 111 not out in 241 balls. The innings contained 13 fours and a six. India lost by an innings and 25 runs but the Master Blaster yet again stood tall among the ruins.
