mouseover or mouseenter or onhover event for Kendo Grid custom button?

The following image shows a small button with a custom edit button on each row of Kendo Grid, I implemented the button using the below code.

command: [{
 name: "MyEdit",
 click: myFunction,
 template: "<a id= 'myEdit' class='k-grid-MyEdit k-button'><span class='k-icon k-i-edit'></span></a>"
         }]


function myFunction(e) {
       var dataItem = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
}

The custom button click event works fine but my requirement is - "onmouseover" , "mouseenter" or "onhover" event for this button. I tried googling and found no other events apart from click event. I need inbuilt command button event only, like "click" is this example.

please suggest me a solution or correct me if something's wrong in my implementation.
