Batting genius Sachin Tendulkar scaled yet another peak in his glittering career when he scored his 51st Test century on the third day of the final Test match against South Africa at Newlands Stadium in Cape Town on Tuesday.

Tendulkar achieved the landmark in the second over after lunch when he top edged a Morne Morkel delivery that went over the keeper and the slips as South Africa opted for the second new ball.

The moment Tendulkar hit the shot, the entire stadium stood up to salute one of the true legends of the game.
