Quite a few of these are performances that most people do not even remember - as they are not bestowed with the same romance and sentimentality that often provides an exaggerated hue on their true value.

more Since Tendulkar's tally of 100 international centuries consist of both ODI and Test centuries, we present a list of his highest impact centuries - 5 in ODI cricket, followed by 5 in Tests. Quite a few of these are performances that most people do not even remember - as they are not bestowed with the same romance and sentimentality that often provides an exaggerated hue on their true value.
All these performances are first, high impact in a match context, and then, series-defining feats (except one, which is mentioned) - that had a crucial say in the final result of the series (or the tournament). Overall, Tendulkar has 10 Series/tournament-defining performances in his ODI career (the most by a batsman in ODI history) and 6 in his Test career. He has been a greater ODI player than a Test player...and perhaps this list will explain somewhat why.
