Bangalore/Kolkata: Sachin Tendulkar is back where he most loves to be and it shows. It's not that the Mumbaikar feels out of place anywhere else, but put him on a cricket ground, be it for a match or a training session, and it's back to being the little boy who can't wait to get to the chocolate, placed tantalisingly just out of reach. In Bangalore, for the training camp ahead of the four-Test series against Aussies.
"My eyes performance and not record," said fit Tendulkar, he also belittled talk about surpassing another milestone, going past Brian Lara to become the world's highest run-getter in Test.

There is no running away from the fact that the likes of Anil Kumble, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman are at the fag end of their careers.
