From the heights of winning the World Cup after 28 years to the despair of a disastrous tour of England, Indian cricket has swung from one end of the spectrum to the other. They are now Down Under to reclaim their status as the No.1 Test side.
Then the unusually long wait for Sachin Tendulkar's 100th international century. Since hitting his 99th ton in the World Cup match against South Africa, the maestro came within striking distance of that magic hundred twice in Tests against England and the West Indies.
Tendulkar, however, was able to realise his childhood dream of being part of a World Cup winning team and that too on his home turf Wankhede Stadium. He must also be happy that he is not the only player to score a double century in One-Day Internationals (ODI) - that he did last year and his team mate Virender Sehwag not only emulated him but also raised the bar to a height not easily reachable.
