Tickets for the Little Master8217;s 199th at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata have his autographed sketch on the left side.

As Sachin Tendulkar prepares for his final two Tests,Eden Gardens8217; curator Prabir Mukherjee has said he would give the master batsman nothing to complain about when he plays his penultimate game in Kolkata against the West Indies.

8220;I will give him Tendulkar a track which he will enjoy. It8217;ll be a good pitch,8221; Mukherjee said.

Mukherjee is known to have a mind of his own and even when the Indian team had requested for a turner against England during the third Test,he provided a firm wicket and also stated that the request for a rank-turner was against the spirit of the game.

A full house is expected and I will do my bit to ensure that the fans get their money8217;s worth,8221; he added.
