Tendulkar has announced that he will end his 24-year-long international career after playing in his 200th Test at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium against the West Indies starting on November 14.
"Sachin made his first class debut at Wankhede Stadium and since he is playing his last Test there, his cricketing career will come a complete circle. Everybody is hoping that he would score a hundred in his last Test. But what about scoring a double or a triple hundred? That would be the real icing on the cake," Gavaskar said.
"Definitely, the Australians start as slight favourites in the second match. Firstly, they are confident after winning by a big margin and secondly they had found that the Indian batsmen were struggling with the short-pitched deliveries. They must be thinking that if they continue like this, they would be able to restrict the Indians," he told NDTV.
Gavaskar, however, said that there's no need to make changes in the Indian playing eleven.
"What the Indians need to do is to change the length of the deliveries their bowlers bowled. They need to bowl shorter in length than they had bowled in Pune. Hit the deck and get the bounce. That was what the Australians did," he said.
