The Australian legend also paid tribute to another Indian veteran Rahul Dravid, who recently retired from cricket.
"Congratulations to 2 Indian Cricket Legends, Sachin Tendulkar & Rahul Dravid. I have so much respect for you both," he said.
Tendulkar completed a century of hundreds -- 49 ODI and 51 Test -- during an Asia Cup match against Bangladesh in Mirpur.
McGrath's former teammate Lee also joined cricketers world over in lauding the 38-year-old right-hander, whose careers spans over two decades.
"Congratulations to Sachin on achieving his 100th hundred," tweeted the bowler, who is currently in the West Indies with the team.
