The Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar is about to play his last international match as he caps off an extraordinary career.

The Test match against the West Indies in Mumbai will be Tendulkar's 200th.

He's known as the Little Master and has broken nearly every cricket record there is.

In India, he's considered a god, and overseas he's feared and respected as the outstanding batsman of his generation.

News Limited cricket writer Gideon Haigh has followed Tendulkar's stellar 24-year career.

He told Darren Mara, Tendulkar might well be one of the last great Test cricketers.
