India opt to bowl against West Indies

NEW DELHI: Indian captain MS Dhoni won the toss and chose to bowl against the West Indies in Sachin Tendulkar's last Test at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.

The most enduring phenomenon in modern cricket and India's biggest sporting icon, Tendulkar is all set for an epic curtain call.

For once, an individual would be the focus even though it is a clash of two teams and why not, given that the individual in question is a man who successfully transformed from a prodigal talent to a living legend in 24 glorious years.

Tendulkar has been synonymous with the game in India for more than two decades and held in awe and admiration all over the cricket-playing world.

Having won the first Test by an innings and 51 runs, India and their seniormost statesman will be focussed on inflicting another humiliating defeat on a mediocre Caribbean outfit.

But the scores and statistics will certainly take backseat for the next few days as a nation gets ready to bid farewell to arguably its greatest and most revered sporting icon.
