Tendulkar set for 400th one-dayer

---

VADODARA, Oct 10 (BBC): India superstar Sachin Tendulkar will Thursday become the second player to feature in 400 one-day internationals.
Tendulkar will open the batting against Australia in the fifth match of the seven-ODI series against Australia, with the tourists leading 2-1.
Meanwhile, uncapped batsman Subramaniam Badrinath, 27, comes into the squad to replace the injured Gautam Gambhir.
He hit a double century for India A against South Africa and said of his chance: "It's a dream come true."
Badrinath added: "Playing for India has been a childhood dream for me and I am delighted that I am close to achieving that now." Gambhir will miss the rest of the series after sitting out Monday's victory over the world champions.
The toss in Vadodara Thursday could be absolutely crucial, with no team yet able to post a win when batting second.
Their batsmen had struggled until that triumph in Chandigarh, in which Tendulkar made a battling 79 and Sourav Ganguly weighed in with 41.
Chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar warned last week that senior players' places would come under threat from the likes of Badrinath unless their form improved.
He said of the Tamil Nadu right-hander: "Players like Badrinath are waiting for their chance and you cannot ignore them. "It's a professional set-up and nobody can take their place for granted."
The squad for the remaining two matches will be decided after Thursday's encounter.
Meanwhile, Sree Santh, India's fast bowler, has admitted he taunted Andrew Symonds after the Australian batsman was dismissed Monday.
