SACHIN, DADA'S GESTURE FOR DON'S MUSEUM
MELBOURNE, Decemeber 20: The Don Bradman museum is all set to get richer in terms of Indian collections with cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly deciding to donate their memorable apparels to it.

Tendulkar will give a pullover that he wore while scoring his 30th Test hundred at Headingley, overtaking Don Bradman's record of 29 tons, to the Adelaide-based museum named after the Australian legend.

"Yes, they (museum authorities) wrote to me sometime back and I have decided to donate it when I am there in Adelaide for the final Test," said Tendulkar at the end of the first day's play against Victoria at Junction Oval here on Thursday.

Apart from Tendulkar, Ganguly will also gift his shirt that he wore during the epic Test win over Australia in the second Test in Kolkata in 2001. India went on to beat the Aussies 2-1 after clinching the third Test in Chennai.
