Tendulkar slams 79th first class century

Mumbai, Nov.2 (ANI): Sachin Tendulkar marked his return to form by slamming a century for Mumbai on the opening day of the Ranji Trophy match against Railways on Friday.

Tendulkar scored 137 off 136 deliveries before being caught by Madkaikar off Anureet Singh.

The 39-year-old took 103 balls to reach his 79th first class century.

This is Tendulkar's first Ranji appearance since playing in the final against Uttar Pradesh in Hyderabad in 2009.

With this ton, he is now just two short of Sunil Gavaskar's record of 81 first class centuries. (ANI)
