In 2011, Tendulkar fell for 94 against the West Indies in the first innings. Wankhede was stunned into silence as pacer Ravi Rampaul spoiled the party with skipper Darren Sammy taking a safe catch at second slip.
But Thursday would be a new dawn, and the millions of Tendulkar fans would be hoping their hero would break a 15-year jinx to score his second hundred on his home ground, to bring his fairytale career to a befitting end. Many hands would go up in supplication and many heads would bow down in prayer, for sure.
