Sachin Tendulkar has reached 39 Test centuries

Indian star batsman just has completed his 39th century. He just has reached to this milestone when Indian team is playing its 4th Test and his personal 146th Test matches at Adelaide. In the morning India won the toss and elected to bat first. At 68.2 over of the first day Tendulkar hits Clarke and takes a boundary (FOUR) over mid-off and completed his 39th centuries in test career. Before this ball Tendulkar hits a 6 and reaches 98. It is his 10th test centuries against Australia.

68.1 Clarke to Tendulkar, SIX, Tendulkar charges Clarke again and launches him into the stands at long-on with a massive swing of the bat, he used his feet brilliantly and he's on 98

68.2 Clarke to Tendulkar, FOUR, the Adelaide Oval erupts as a off drive beats a diving Brag Hogg at mid-off, that's his 39th Test hundred and the applause is warm and spontaneous
