SACHINS FIRST TEST HUNDRED

Sachin scored his first test hundred on 14th August 1990 against England at Old Trafford Manchester. He made a match saving 119 not out and he along with Manoj Prabhakar who made 67 not out saved the match for India after they were in dire straits losing six wickets for next to nothing before tea. That match saving effort also earned him the distinction of becoming the second youngest test player at the age of 17 years and 112 days to score a hundred.

His hundred followed a magnificent 50 in the first innings.

Gokulashtmi is normally associated with heavy rains.It was really very
Interesting score fulfill with cricket grammer.
