Tendulkar injury a worry for India

CENTURION - Ahead of the must-win match against Australia here Monday, it is Sachin Tendulkar’s injury that is worrying India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Dhoni revealed after their 54-run loss to Pakistan Saturday evening that India missed a part-time bowler. He said he couldn’t use Tendulkar since the batting maestro is suffering from a shoulder injury. The shoulder has troubled Tendulkar from a long time.

Dhoni looked uncomfortable when asked about Tendulkar’s injury.

“Tendulkar has a shoulder injury and he can’t consistently bowl. He is our main batsman and we don’t want him injured,” he said.

Injuries have plagued India off late with Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan already ruled out of the side.
