Sachin Tendulkar’s First Test Century

August 14, 2025

 

Kathmandu – On August 14, 1990, a 17-year-old Sachin Tendulkar scored his maiden Test century — an unbeaten 119 runs — against England at Old Trafford, Manchester. At just 17 years and 107 days, he became the third-youngest player to achieve a Test hundred.

His composed and determined innings helped India draw the match on the final day, preventing a loss and marking the arrival of a future cricket legend. This knock is seen as a turning point that launched one of the most remarkable careers in international cricket.
