Sachin Tendulkar became the first player in Test history to score 50 centuries.

Sachin Tendulkar strode into the middle to take guard in the second innings on the back of a 137-run opening stand between Virender Sehwag (63) and Gautam Gambhir (80). But the two had departed in the space of 33 runs, asking Sachin and Rahul Dravid to take India to stumps on day three without anymore damage, which the veterans successfully achieved.
