Can Sachin complete century during Sydney’s centenary Test?

Sachin TendulkarSachin Tendulkar during the course of his illustrious international career lasting 22 long years has just suffered four ignominious instances of going through ton-less tenures lasting nine or more months.

His last and the most recent three-figure innings came during India's triumphant march in 2011 World Cup: versus South Africa at Nagpur on March 12.
Since then in 12 matches he managed to score seven fifties including two knocks in the nervous nineties but the much awaited hundred has eluded him for more than nine months.

Now that Sydney Cricket Ground is all set to become only the third ground to host its 100th Test match, can the master blaster bring to an end his agonizingly long wait with his landmark ton? 





The full details of Tendulkar's ton-less tenures arranged in the order of longest span:
