The Indian cricket team arrived in Ahmedabad today for their first match of the three-Test series against visitors New Zealand. The first Test starts on Thursday at the Sardar Patel stadium, Motera. For Tendulkar this venue has always been a happy hunting ground. He had scored his career's first double century at Motera stadium against New Zealand in 1999. He also celebrated his 20 years in Test cricket at the same stadium by scoring a century against Sri Lanka in November 2009. The batting maestro, who is just one ton short of scoring his 50th Test century, would now be looking forward to setting up one more record during the Test match at the venue. Tendulkar has 49 Test and 58 half centuries, and has the highest number of runs in the longer format of the game, with a total of 14,240.
