"tendulkar, the so-called master blaster, has hit more than 60 centuries in total, in both forms of the game. however, only few times india have won, when he scored centuries." But the records don't really validate this argument. In test cricket, it's Brian Lara who has suffered more than Tendulkar. Lara's career is another example of how you can't win a Test match single-handedly. Despite his prolific run-scoring, thirteen of Lara's 32 hundreds haven't prevented West Indies from losing and only eight have led to wins. Even when Lara has gone on to score big - a double hundred for instance - it hasn't made a difference at times. Lara has passed 200 on eight occasions of which West Indies have won just one - against Australia in Jamaica - and lost three. Lara, in fact, holds the record for the most runs in a lost match. He scored 221 and 130 in Colombo in 2001 but Sri Lanka still won by ten wickets. He has a better record in one-day internationals - West Indies have won 16 of the 19 ODIs in which Lara has scored a hundred. Out of 35 tons Tendulkar has scored in Test, only 8 of those 35 ended up being not fruitful and India lost the game. In ODI, Tendulkar does lead the club of Hundreds in defeats (in terms of numbers). India lost 11 times although Tendulkar managed to get a ton (out of 40 tons in his ODI career). If we talk in %, Markus Trescothick ileads the house. Out of 12 tons he has scored in ODI, England lost 6 of them. Similarly, out of 15 tons Chris Gayle has scored in ODIs, West Indies have lost in 6.
