With the crowd roaring "Sachin, Sachin", and leaflets and cut-outs saluting him, batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar was Saturday felicitated by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) at the Eden Gardens for scoring a century of international hundreds.

Tendulkar was presented a golden bat and ball by Banerjee, while CAB president Jagmohan Dalmiya gifted hundred guineas - one for each hundred - to the batting genius before the Indian Premier League (IPL) clash between the Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders began here.
