Mumbai, Nov 25 : The wait for batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar's 100th international century continues as the legendary batsman fell six runs short of the unprecedented feat during the third and final Test against the West Indies at the Wankhede stadium here today.
Tendulkar, who resumed on 67 at his home ground, was dismissed for 94 when he slashed at a delivery from pace bowler Ravi Rampaul and was caught by Darren Sammy at second slip in the first session of the fourth day.
Sachin faced 20 deliveries in the morning session and smashed a total of eight fours and two sixes in a 153-ball knock.
The 100th century has been tensely anticipated since he notched two 100s during this year's World Cup to reach a total of 99. He has scored 51 test centuries and 48 in one-day internationals.
