Son Sachin wants to be perfect host to mother at farewell Test


India's second Test against West Indies next month is now seemingly the most awaited Test in cricket circles. But for the man who makes it a special Test for the cricket world, it will be an emotional occasion as well. Sachin's 24 old international career will come to an end next month at Wankhede and his mother will be in attendance for the first and last time.

Sachin may have been preparing for the final two Tests of his unmatched career but while sweating it out at the nets, he also had one eye overseeing preparations at the ground where he will call curtains to his India innings.

One big reason he wanted the match at Wankhede is so that his mother could watch him play for the first and last time at the stadium. His mother has age issues and has to walk with the aid of a wheelchair. The rack available with MCA that could carry Sachin's mother towards the lift hasn't been finalized and a special rack is now being prepared to serve the purpose.

Its unusual and rare that Sachin's mother has never seen him play international cricket from a stadium. This of course is not any other game and Sachin is taking personal interest speaking with MCA officials to ensure that when his mother walks out of the wheelchair towards the stadium she does not have to face any hassles.

This is one of those occasions where Sachin wants all his closed ones to be a part of the occasion. For a man who credits his immediate family for being the human being that he is today, they rarely see him play live. Whether its his wife Anjali, elder brother Ajit or his mother who will watch her son play for the first time.

500 spectators of the 33000 capacity stadium will be those who will be special invitees of Sachin Tendulkar. In what will surely be an emotional match for Mumbai's favourite son, Headlines Today has learnt that Sachin's immediate family will get to sit in a 20-seater corporate box -- an arrangement made by the MCA.

Having announced to the world his last day in India whites, the tension free Sachin is now looking at ways of making his final test memorable for his countless fans and his loved ones. With all their wishes its unlikely that he will fail.
