Mahendra Singh praises Sachin Tendulkar – Cricket News Update
Indian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 and claimed that he his lucky to have a genius of Little Master’s calibre playing for the Men In Blue.
Tendulkar suffered a toe injury against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, which abruptly ended his tour. He consequently missed his club side, the Mumbai Indians’ winning campaign of the Champions League T20, and also the 5-0 thrashing of the Poms on home soil.
The 38-year-old has now recovered fully from the injury and has been recalled for the forthcoming series against the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 and Ishant
Sharma.
Many believe that the veteran batsman isn’t among the best when it comes to leadership, with former BCCI secretary http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JY-Lele-c69746, in his book claiming that the Master Blaster listened to too many senior players, which ultimately affected his overall judgment.
When quizzed about his captaincy, the current Indian skipper, Dhoni was simply pleased to have him in his ranks – labelling him a true genius.
"I have not played under his (Sachin's) captaincy. It's always good to have him in the side, he is a genius and comes up with his own ideas. It's good to have him on the field as he is a class batsman," Dhoni said while receiving the honorary rank of Lt
Colonel.
Despite not achieving success as a skipper, Tendulkar’s record is a testament to his ability, where his stroke-making is surely a treat to watch for every cricket lover.
Since making his Test debut in 1989, the player has featured in 181 matches, scoring a whopping 14965 runs at an impeccable average of 56.25. His career record is also as impressive when it comes to the ODIs, where he has amassed 18111 runs at 45.16. His
combined centuries still stand at 99, and the upcoming series against the Windies will provide him the chance for making his hundredth ton in front of his home fans.
The series kicks off on November 6 at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820, respectively.
