How often does India win when Sachin scores a century?

There is this thing I keep hearing that Sachin's centuries are not all that lucky for India, and we generally lose when he scores them. A lot of people have this impression, and I thought I'd dig deeper and figure out if there's anything behind this. The data that I found surprised me quite a bit. Sachin's centuries only result in about 69% wins for India whereas Sehwag's 14 centuries have led to 13 wins! Similarly the winning percentage for Ponting, Jayasuriya and Ganguly who have scored many more than Sehwag is much higher as well. Looking at all the data behind these numbers – I see that there is a simple explanation, but I won't spoil the fun for you and let you enjoy this little graphic with a lot of other interesting stats as well. So, you see – it just happens that Sachin has scored more of his centuries against tougher opponents, and while his centuries have in general markedly improved India's winning chances; those chances were so low to begin with that it gives a semblance that India doesn't win as often as it should. I've taken the data from How Stat and CricInfo.
