Scorecard | Sachin Tendulkar Timeline
Earlier, Pragyan Ojha took five wickets as India bundled out the West Indies for 182 runs.
Indian captain MS Dhoni took his 250th catch to dismiss Tino Best off Ojha.
Ojha took his third wicket when he trapped Shane Shillingford plumb in front of the wicket.
R Ashwin dismissed Narsingh Deonarine and Darren Sammy in one over to pin down the West Indies.
Playing an irresponsible shot, Sammy looked to pull a delivery over mid-wicket but the ball went high up in the air for Rohit Sharma to take the catch.
Murali Vijay took a good catch at second slip to dismiss Narsingh Deonarine off Ashwin.
West Indies lost their fifth wicket when Bhuvneshwar Kumar had Shivnarine Chanderpaul caught by R Ashwin at first slip.
Pragyan Ojha took his second wicket when he had Marlon Samuels caught by Murali Vijay at first slip.
Ojha dismissed Kieran Powell in the third over after lunch by having him caught by Shikhar Dhawan at forward short leg.
Put in to bat, the West Indies were 93/2 in their first innings at the end of the first session.
R Ashwin had Darren Bravo caught behind by captain MS Dhoni as the West Indies lost their second wicket.
Mohammed Shami struck in the sixth over when he had opener Chris Gayle caught by Rohit Sharma at gully.
Shami bowled a back of a length delivery that was angled right at Gayle's body, there was a little away movement and Gayle poked at it, with very little feet movement, got the shoulder of the bat and the ball lobbed to the left of gully where Rohit took a good catch.
The breakthrough came after Indian captain MS Dhoni won the toss and chose to bowl.
India are unchanged from the last Test, while the West Indies have brought in Narsingh Deonarine and Shannon Gabriel in place of Sheldon Cottrell and Veerasammy Permaul.
There is some moisture in the wicket and it has a nice covering of green grass. The fast bowlers will get ample movement with the new ball and it's going to be tough for the batsmen.
The most enduring phenomenon in modern cricket and India's biggest sporting icon, Tendulkar is all set for an epic curtain call.
