Sachin Tendulkar’s fitness for IPL still unclear,
Sachin’s IPL presence still doubtful
==========================
Since only few days are remaining for the inaugural match of IPL, Sachin Tendulkar, captain of Mukesh Ambani’s Mumbai Indians team admits that he is not fully fit yet. Tendulkar is suffering from a groin injury.
According to sources close to Mukesh Ambani, it is still unclear whether Sachin will take the field.
Talking to the media, Sachin Tendulkar said that he was a bit disappointed that he was not able to play in two test matches against South Africa due to the groin injury he has not yet recovered from.
“The physiotherapist and the doctor had earlier advised me rest and now they have given me the exercises and I am following their advice,” he told Aaj Tak.
Sachin Tendulkar denied reports about a rift between senior and junior players in the Indian team, and said that such rumuors were baseless. He also said that he did not know who were actually spreading these rumours.
On the prospects of facing long time team-mate Sourav Ganguly in the IPL, Tendulkar said, “I am looking forward to the reception in Kolkata and hope that when we are in Kolkata, Sourav will invite us over dinner and will also speak to (Kolkata Knight Riders owner) Shahrukh (Khan) then.”
