Cricket is a bat-and-ball team sport that originated in England and is now played in more than 100 countries. A cricket match is contested by two teams, usually of eleven players each¹ and is played on a grass field in the centre of which is a flat strip of ground 22 yards (20 m) long called a pitch. A wicket, usually made of wood, is placed at each end of the pitch and used as a target.

The object of each team is to score more "runs" than the other team and so win the game.

John Barton "Bart" King was an American cricketer, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. King was one of the Philadelphian cricketers that played from the end of the 19th century until the outbreak of World War I.

King was a skilled batsman, but proved his worth as a bowler, successfully competing against the best cricketers from England and Australia. During his career, he set numerous records in North America and was the dominant bowler on his team when it toured England in 1897, 1903, and 1908. He led the first-class bowling averages in England in 1908. Sir Pelham Warner described Bart King as one of the finest bowlers of all time, and Donald Bradman called him "America's greatest cricketing son.

This list shows all instances in which the Indian cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar has scored 100 runs or more in Test matches and One Day International (ODI) matches, organised by the International Cricket Council. Tendulkar has scored a total of 47 centuries in Test matches and 46 centuries in ODIs, each of which is a world record. He is yet to score a century in a Twenty20 international cricket match.
