Mumbai innings against Kolkata shows reliance on Tendulkar?

Question

Does Mumbai’s reasonably low total against Kolkata today show their reliance on Sachin Tendulkar, who has sat out this match?

Answer 1

Mumbai left out five players for today’s match, and Tendulkar was one of them. If the skipper was in the playing XI it mightn’t have been unreasonable to have expected a higher total than the 133-8 Mumbai produced.
