When cricket unfolds its mystic fragrance across the nation the thought on every mind is will the Cric-God make it this time or not!!  Yes you are right the hungama is all about 100th 100 of the master blaster – look at what Sachinites across feel. The wait seems eternal. Fans wonder when the D-day will arrive. But the pain of wait is asweet painand when the feat is achieved it is remarkable not only for the Little Master but for the entire cricket nation.

Let’s first check on what ace bats man Virender Sehwag felt earlier: I once told him to go for 100 international hundreds. It is a difficult thing to do. Had it been easy, anybody would have done it. He said only Sachin Tendulkar deserved the 'Century of Centuries' and felt confident that the batting maestro would reach the milestone.

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni: It is (Sachin's 100th ton) bound to happen. Hopefully, he gets it in the first test and then we will celebrate and go ahead. Collectively We will let him (Tendulkar) get his hundred.

Former India captain Ravi Shastri: I have a gut feeling, he will get to his milestone in Kolkata. There will be a larger crowd than at Kotla.

Another former India captain Kapil Dev earlier: I am not saying don't give credit to individual performances, but the country should come first. Everyone knows Sachin has 99 centuries, but how many know which of those have ended in victories? Out of Sachin's 99 hundreds, 60 have ended in wins. If anyone reports that I'll be happy. We have to change our mindset. If we lose the match, what's the use of statistics? To hell with that!

Well if we think only cricketers are anticipating the huge ton then we are wrong, because Bollywood has its share of Sachinites who are eagerly praying for the Master Blaster to accomplish this task.

Shilpa Shetty: He is a legend and I feel very proud that he has brought so much pride to us Indians.
Lara Dutta: Sachin is the man who makes India proud and inspires youngsters. Being a great cricketer and a super family man works as a great combination for him.

Dino Morea: Despite being hospitalized for the past few weeks, Morea's love for cricket and of course Sachin hasn't been hampered. `He has supreme talent, focus and diligence. He is just blessed and is an inspiration to the youth of this world.’

Cyrus Sahukar VJ/actor: It will be one of the most amazing achievements ever. But he has already done so much that his name will deservedly be mentioned with other masters of their crafts like Pele or Md Ali or even Beethoven.

Diana Hayden, Former Miss World: We already know that he is the God of Cricket. He'll be proving it again with another century tomorrow.

Anchal Kumar, Model and Bigg Boss-4 contestant: Sachin is a world class player, extraordinary and exceptionally talented. His achievements are legendary. I want to wish him luck and hope he breaks yet another record. It would be certainly well deserved.

Chandan Roy Sanyal, The 'Kaminey' actor: Sachin should be called centurion 'Tondulkar' for the number of centuries he has scored.

Minissha Lamba, Actress : We are already very proud of him. He has given Indian Cricket recognition and respect worldwide."

Aashish Chaudhary, Actor: It will be a century that all his fans have been waiting for, more than even he himself. Every record of his is like a personal record for all of us and we all share his glory.

Luv Sinha, brother of Sonakshi Sinha : A great achievement by a man who has always made us proud, not just as a player but also as a human being. I am looking forward to seeing him break more records tomorrow.

TV actor Ali Merchant jokingly said, "The name 'Cricket' should be changed to Sachin."
Film director Milap Zaveri: I would say that in terms of centuries, there isn't going to be another player like Sachin Tendulkar.

Well whatever it is Sachin is Sachin – the Legend. He is right now batting at 59 (121) at the Kotla in the second Innings against the Caribbean’s, at the drinks break. Let us all pray and hope he accomplishes this task and answers our dreams. We at the News Desk wish the Master Blaster to answer the critics with his mighty anticipated ton.
