"I join the nation in congratulating Sachin Tendulkar on his making history - a hundred centuries. He has made India proud. Tendulkar's long career has been a triumph of class, character and courage. Wish him many more innings and feats to continue inspiring the youth."
Manmohan Singh, the Indian prime minister, acknowledges Tendulkar's achievement
"The focus should not be about how he got his 100th hundred, but how he got his 100 hundreds."
Sanjay Manjrekar tweets that Tendulkar's feat should be viewed holistically
"@sachin_rt paaji congratulations! It's a small thing for you but a phenomenal historic achievement. Dinner's on me when we meet. Many more!"
Virender Sehwag congratulates his role-model on Twitter
"India breathes normally! Sachin completes an incredible feat! A hundred 100's. Never done before, perhaps never after!!"
Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan says the nation will be relieved
"I cannot see that being beaten to be honest - it is a phenomenal effort. Records are meant to be broken, but I honestly do not think I will see someone score 100 hundreds in international cricket again."
Alistair Cook, who scored a hundred in a practice game on the same day, says Tendulkar's record will stay intact
"Seriously has anyone actually thought about what Sachin has done here? 100 100s! Absolutely unbelievable. Batter's dream!"
Kevin Pietersen can barely believe Tendulkar's achievement
"Ever since he made his international debut in November 1989, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar has strode cricketing arenas the world over like a colossus. He has broken old records and set new benchmarks. He has been an inspiration to billions, and an ornament to the sport. 16 March 2012 will never be forgotten by cricket-lovers."
BCCI president N Srinivasan talks about the importance of Tendulkar to India and to cricket
