Year 2007 : The first instance in Tests of the top four scoring centuries in an innings - and, by a strange quirk, of the top four coming close to breaking the record for the first wicket. Wasim Jaffer and Dinesh Karthik added 175 on day one of the second Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka before Karthik retired hurt with cramps. Then at 281, still without the loss of a wicket, Jaffer was also taken off with cramps, and Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar batted till stumps for 326 for 0. On day two Dravid fell, India's first wicket, when they needed six runs to break the opening-stand record of 413 set by Pankaj Roy and Vinoo Mankad. Karthik returned to get his maiden century.
In 1985 Allan Border scored a fourth consecutive first-class hundred in Australia’s tour match at Derbyshire. He started his tour with centuries against Somerset, Worcestershire and MCC.
In 1995 Sachin Tendulkar married Dr. Anjali Mehta, a paediatrician in Mumbai.
