A visualization is as good as the story it captures, giving user a context of the data and ending with an insight they may not had before. Below is a link to the story board created by me on tableau public analyzing the centuries scored by the “Great” Sachin Tendulkar in Tests. Though I have always been a fan of the great man and have always followed his stats closely, there were certain insights I came to know while creating this story.
Sachin scored record 51 centuries in tests. He scored a century against every test playing nation.
He scored at least a century in every test playing country except Zimbabwe.
He scored more centuries away than in home.
His best year in terms of test century was the penultimate year of his career.
Other than Chennai and Nagpur in India, Sydney was another venue where he scored 3 test centuries.
India wins 40 % of matches and does not loose 80 % of matches when Sachin scores a century
