Tendulkar scored his much awaited 100th international hundred on 16 March 2012, at Mirpur against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup.[104]
He became the first person in history to achieve this feat.
Incidentally, it was Tendulkar's first ODI hundred against Bangladesh.
He said "It's been a tough phase for me ... I was not thinking about the
milestone, the media started all this, wherever I went, the restaurant,
room service, everyone was talking about the 100th hundred. Nobody
talked about my 99 hundreds. It became mentally tough for me because
nobody talked about my 99 hundreds."[105] Despite Tendulkar's century, India failed to win the match against Bangladesh, losing by 5 wickets.[106]
