Tendulkar is Back! To Play in Irani Match!

The fan of Sachin Tendulkar have a reason to celebrate and be relieved! Yes, the God of Cricket has declared himself fit and ready to play cricket again. Since there is no international schedule now, he will participate in the Irani Cup--a domestic tournament.

"I will be participating in the Irani Trophy. Just now I'm fine," declared the master batsman at a promotional event for Aviva Insurance of which he is a brand ambassador.

He was not in his full form against Sri Lanka in the test series. He was in need of 172 runs to take over from Brain Lara as the leading run getter in test cricket history. But he couldn't succeed in getting those runs and should wait till the Australian tour to India.

The champion batsman could muster only 95 runs at a very dismal average of 15.83 per innings with 31 in the second innings of the second Test at Galle, won by India, as his highest score in the three-match Test rubber.

He injured himself when tried to catch in the second slip of Kumble. His elbow injured and he had to leave the field.

Let us hope that he shines in the Australian tour and scores the run he wanted for the country and also for himself.

Good luck dear Sachin!
