Stuart Broad wants to use his 100th Test appearance to put England back on track at the start of their series with India, live on Sky Sports.
Broad will join fellow seamer James Anderson and skipper Alastair Cook in England's current '100 club' - and become just the 14th Englishman in history to reach the milestone - when the tourists begin the five-match at Rajkot on Wednesday.
But the Nottinghamshire paceman, who made his Test debut in 2007, insists he is focused on "righting the wrongs" of the Test defeat to Bangladesh in Dhaka eight days ago.
"Obviously I'm aware how special an achievement it is because of the players that have come before me - the amount they've given to English cricket," said the 30-year-old.
"So it will be a special cap to receive. But actually, I think what excites me more is we hope this game will be the start of a huge series for us as well.
"There's no bigger occasion than the start of a series in India against the world No 1 team.
"I try not to think about end of careers, because I think that makes you slow down as a player. I think as soon as you set those targets, you stop chasing to improve, you stop training very hard.
"I certainly want to play in big series, and that counts at least two more Ashes series in my view."
Of Broad's 99 Test appearances to date, only three have come in India and he has had precious little success in the country, taking just two wickets at the cost of 290 runs.
He was a frustrated and peripheral figure on his last trip when injury curtailed his involvement in England's memorable 2-1 series triumph.
"It is very much a chance to show what I can do [in India]," he said. "I probably shouldn't have played that series - I wasn't fit. I think I only bowled 25 overs in the series.
"I lacerated the fat pad in my left heel before the first Test match in the warm-up game, and the scans just didn't show it.
"It was a frustrating period for me, but I feel in a pretty good place at the moment... and I'm excited to get going."
