England captain Andrew Strauss has praised Sachin Tendulkar after the Indian batsman became the first international player to hit 100 centuries.

The 38-year-old reached the milestone on Friday against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup.

"Sachin has been the player by which all others have been measured in the last 10 or 15 years, and for him to go on and get 100 hundreds... it's an amazing achievement without precedent and is unlikely to be achieved again," said Strauss.

During his international career, Tendulkar has hit 49 one-day centuries and 51 Test hundreds.
