      Sachin Tendulkar will call time on his career after India's upcoming Test against the West Indies.
      As the world's leading Test and one-day batsman, the 40-year-old will go down as the greatest of his generation between the stumps.
      And here we have a run-down of where you can catch his predictably emotional farewell in Mumbai.

      Where and when?

      The Test will begin on Thursday November 14 and could last for up to five days. It will take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, with play starting at around 4am (GMT) each day.

      Where can I follow it?

      Each Test will be screened on Sky Sports and Sky Sports HD, with coverage starting at 03:45.
      The first day on Thursday will be live on Sky Sports 1.
      While the TV schedule may not suit British viewers, replays and highlights will be available later in the day.

      What are the betting odds?

      While the fairytale finale of a Tendulkar century to close his career may seem a long shot, it is very much a possibility.
      SkyBet are offering odds of 6/1 on the batsman scoring a century in his first innings.
      His dismissal method - should there be one - is also on offer, with the favourite being him caught out, at 13/8.
      However, India are the clear favourites for the Test at 8/15 with the West Indies rank outsiders at 8/1.
