Analytics of Sachin's Century Number 42

Whoever said that Sachin Tendulkar was over the hill, was comprehensively proved wrong by another masterly innings.

Interesting Analytics

Sachin's 42 centuries averages around 144 runs per century.

Each century on the average contributes 34% of the team's total runs scored.

This century of 160 out of total 520 contributed 31% of the runs, is only the 25th when ranked amongst centuries with highest percentage contribution.

His 122 out of a total score 219 against England in 1996 constituting 56% of the total runs scored by the team is by far the "most valuable" century.

Whenever Sachin has scored a century only in 9 cases it has been for a losing cause and in 17 cases the match has been drawn.

Sachin's century contributing a win has been the case in 16 cases, including the likely win in New Zealand.
