Postal stamp on Sachin for 200th Test

MUMBAI: The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), in a release on Thursday, revealed its grand plans on how it would celebrate Sachin Tendulkar's 200th and final Test at the Wankhede Stadium, which will be held from November 14-18.

As TOI had reported in its edition on October 28, before the start of the landmark game, a commemorative postal stamp, with Sachin's picture on it, will be released during a special presentation.

A 64-page brochure, which will feature tributes to the batting legend from eminent personalities from all walks of life, will be released too.

The spectators will have plenty to look forward to during the game, with 10,000 'Sachin face masks', scorecards and caps displaying Sachin's picture being distributed for free in the stadium.

A special coin will be used for the toss, which will be preserved by the MCA. A limited edition brochure and coins will be distributed to some of the top MCA and BCCI officials.

Twentyfirst Century Media Pvt. Ltd. has made a presentation to the MCA about its plans for the Test.

Sweet send-off in Kolkata

When the Eden Gardens hosts Tendulkar for the last time next week, there is a 'sweet' surprise in store for him. The landmark 128-year-old sweet shop Balaram Mullick and Radharaman Mullick in south Kolkata is gearing up to give a sugary send-off to the genius with a five-pound sandesh-cake that depicts Tendulkar holding a bat.
