Sachin Tendulkar reached his century and made the winning runs with the same hit against England in Chennai. How many times has this happened before in Tests?
Rather surprisingly, Sachin Tendulkar's double in the recent match in Chennai is only the second time in Test history that a batsman has reached his century and won the game with the same shot. The only other time this has happened was in Cape Town in 2001-02, when Ricky Ponting completed a four-wicket victory for Australia with a six off Paul Adams, which took him neatly to 100 (he needed a six, as a four would have won the match too and left him on 98).
