Sachin Tendulkar may be about to play Test cricket on his home ground for the final time - but Dhoni is not banking on it. At the age of 39, Tendulkar's next opportunity of a Test at the Wankhede Stadium after facing England will be at least two years away. One of the most enticing prospects therefore, for the Mumbai crowd over the five days, will be the possibility of their favourite son adding a 101st international hundred to mark the significant occasion. "When it comes to Sachin, I think the best thing to do is not to speculate," said Dhoni. "He may come back and play a few more Test matches here. So let's wait and watch, and enjoy the kind of cricket he plays."
