Just like in the build-up to 2011 Test series in England, Sachin Tendulkar has created a buzz. Alastair Cook’s Englishmen will be in Mumbai next week and the one match they will follow closely as they play their second warm-up tie in Nerul, is the Mumbai vs Railways Ranji Trophy tie at the Wankhede Stadium where Tendulkar will be the star attraction among other internationals, Ajit Agarkar, Zaheer Khan, Ramesh Powar, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and Abhishek Nayar.
