Indian media goes gaga over Sachin Tendulkar...

Indian media have gone gaga over Sachin Tendulkar, the country's iconic cricket star who completed a long-awaited "century of centuries" against Bangladesh on Friday to crown his status as the greatest batsman of the game's modern era.

The front pages of broadsheet newspapers were splashed with the historic feat on Saturday, while electronic media trumpeted the record on prime time, even though India went on to lose the Asian Cup test match against a country considered a cricketing minnow.

Most newspapers engraved their mastheads with Tendulkar’s ton of tons, with New Delhi-based newspaper Hindustan Times calling him the "God of all things", while the Mail Today said "Sachin finally scales Mt 100".

Indian Express newspaper’s front page headline was "Mathemagic", listing every one of Tendulkar's three-figure international innings. Full story...
