Lalchand Rajput has warned Australia by saying that Sachin Tenduklar was sharpening his tools for the four-Test series.

"Sachin has got a good break. The way he has been training and practicing, I believe he will be the dangerman for the Australians," Rajput told PTI-Bhasha in an e-mail interview.

"He wanted to play in the Irani Cup also but could not due to injury. But now he is ready to face Australian," he added The rival skipper Ricky Ponting had also said that his team has prepared some special plans to dismiss Tendulkar.

The coach of the Mumbai Indians team in the IPL, also said that Tendulkar this time will break the world record for the most Test runs in the series, beginning with Bangalore Test on Ocotober 9.

"He will break that record in this series. I am sure he will also be keen to get that record," he said.

Tendulkar is just 77 runs away from surpassing Brain Lara's record 11,953 runs.

It was expected that the master blaster will get the record in Sri Lanka, but he along with other senior Indian batsmen failed miserably.
