Dhoni wants Tendulkar to celebrate 20 years with ton



Ahmedabad, Nov 15 (PTI) India skipper Mahendra Singh
Dhoni wants Sachin Tendulkar to celebrate his 20 years in
international cricket by scoring a hundred in the first Test
against Sri Lanka starting here Monday.

"It can't get better than this...playing Test cricket
after a long time, Sachin completing 20 years. Hopefully he
will score a century. It can't get better than Sachin
completing 20 years and getting a century (in the match),"
said Dhoni at the pre-match media conference here Sunday.
The 36-year-old Tendulkar made his debut on November
15, 1989 when he played against Pakistan in Karachi and has,
since then, set many records in both Tests and ODIs.
He is the highest run-accumulator and century-maker in
both forms of the game. The veteran has 42 Test and 45 one-day
hundreds to his credit.
India last played a Test in March-April in New Zealand
and have been playing only 50-over and Twenty20s since then.
