Finger injury may cause http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 to miss match against the Deccan Chargers – Cricket News Update
The Mumbai Indians may find themselves taking to the field without veteran batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, as his finger injury, which is still not fully healed, is likely to keep him on the sidelines for their match against the Deccan Chargers today on April 9 in Visakhapatnam.
“Finger still not looking good. Had to aspirate blood from my finger twice in 4 days,” Tendulkar tweeted, along with a picture of his injured finger.
The 38-year-old sustained the injury during the season opener against the Chennai Super Kings, when a delivery by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DE-Bollinger-c1348 hit him on the hand, forcing him to retire hurt on 16 during the 9th over of the game.
With the Indians chasing 113, Sachin’s loss was a minor setback for his team. Opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379.
A partnership between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 at home on April 6 at the Wankhede Stadium.
Having won the toss and chosen to field, they managed to restrict their opponents to 129, but were unsuccessful in the chase. The top order, sans Tendulkar, failed to impress, with Levi (0),Rayudu (1), and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KD-Karthik-c1780 (32) attempted to rally their side, but the team found themselves cut off at 101 by the end of 20 overs.
With the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians currently at number 5 on the tournament points table, a win against the Deccan Chargers could strengthen their position in a big way, but much of it depends on their ability to play under new leadership.
The veteran right-hander recently relinquished the captaincy of the Mumbai Indians to spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 before the start of the currently ongoing 5th edition of the Indian Premier League, saying he wanted to take a “break from the responsibility of captaincy”. While the team managed a victory in their first match (during which Tendulkar was present), they struggled visibly in the second, and it remains to be seen whether they will be able to bounce back in their upcoming match.
