Tendulkar’s first World Cup century came in 1996 against Kenya, and his final one was against South Africa in 2011. His highest score in a World Cup match is an unbeaten 152 against Namibia in 2003. Tendulkar’s centuries have come on various pitches and against a wide range of bowling attacks, underlining his adaptability and batting prowess.
