The IPL is over but its side effects will prevail for some time now. It has been all of 44 days, 56 league games And for the two finalists two more matches after that. The IPL caravan has taken players all around eight cities with hardly any time to rest and re energise. No wonder then that this strain has already take its toll. The hectic schedule of the cash rich IPL has left players exhausted not to mention some of them injured which will effect their national duties. South African skipper Graeme Smith experienced mixed emotions even in the moment of triumph for his Jaipur team. The bulwark of Rajasthan Royals batting, Smith who amassed 441 runs was forced to sit out of the final due to a hamstring injury that he had picked up during the IPL. An injury that may well make him miss South Africas Test series against England. It looks like minimum four weeks. So I have to push to get better for the Lords Test for my country which starts on 10th July. So I have a bit of hard work ahead of me said Smith on his injury and it’s not only the South Africa skipper who’s feeling the impact of a rigorous IPL. Even Captain cool MS Dhoni admits he is feeling the heat. In fact the Indian ODI and T20 skipper kept himself away from keeping wickets in the later stages of the tournament due to a finger injury and passed on his gloves to Parthiv Patel. It is a very demanding format. We hardly get any time to rest. If you see we have played two Twenty20 games in 24 hours. It is a part and parcel of the game but it does drain you out said Dhoni after his team played two crucial games in two days. India who have a booked cricketing calendar this season has already two of their key members in the injured list due to the strainous IPL. Both Sachin Tendulkar and Zaheer Khan were missing from the Indian squad for the Tri-series in Bangladesh and the Asia Cup in Pakistan. Mumbai Indians skipper Tendulkar may have sustained an injury in Australia. But his IPL campaign which started midway through Mumbai’s journey in the tournament has ensured that the ‘little master’ will miss both the tournaments. Bangalores Zaheer Khan also aggravated his ankle injury in the IPL amd hence forcing him out of the Tri series. Australian opener Matthew Hayden who was part of the Chennai team is missing his counntrys ongoing Test series against the West Indies due to a tendon injury in his right foot. Wicketkeeper-batsman Kumar Sangakkara suffered from a rib injury for a brief period of time during the course of the tournament and also missed a few games for Mohali. With no separate window yet for the IPL and the entire year packed with a lot of cricket the players will have to carefully manage their fitness better to be able to stay fit throughout the year.

Sachin Tendulkar turns 35 tomorrow and as he inaugurates his late thirties, it is worth looking at his eighteen and a half year career so far. No other Indian Cricketer has been an India regular for such a long period. Sunil Gavaskar played for sixteen years, Anil Kumble is in his eighteenth year. He has done so without ever being dropped for reasons of performance. I have written about him before, but i never cease to marvel at the sheer relentlessness of his accomplishments. He made Test hundreds on his first tours to England, Australia and South Africa and he is still making hundreds 18 years later - 39 Test hundreds so far. No other batsman has been studied with more care than Sachin Tendulkar - both by worried opposing teams and by observers. It is said that Sir Leonard Hutton saw him play in England in 1990 and immediatly observed that his footwork was amongst the surest he had ever seen. Bradman saw his own image in Tendulkar’s batsmanship. Sunil Gavaskar watched him play in 1987, and at the time declared that the two best batsmen in Bombay were Dilip Vengsarkar and Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar’s batting career is replete with instances where he has been kept in check - mastered even. Bowling line ups have tried many ideas against him. Bowling sides have tried to frustrate him outside off stump, they have tried to frustrate him with slow left arm bowling outside leg stump, they have tried to bounce him, they have tried to cramp him by bowling straight with a packed on side field. Each of these tactics have worked so some degree or another, but Tendulkar has never been mastered. Specific bowlers have troubled him - Glenn McGrath is one. However, there has never been an occasion when some engagement with the bowler’s play on Tendulkar’s part has not been apparent. Amongst his most memorable displays in my view was his effort on the second evening at Adelaide in 1999. He spent 40 minutes ignoring McGrath outside off stump, and later explained that he felt he was in control. On another occasion, he spent a full morning session over 12 runs against Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh in the West Indies in 1997, and on the way back for lunch told his partner Rahul Dravid that he hadn’t been able to read Ambrose’s length at all. Yet, he spend the whole morning pushing forward and managing as best he could, without throwing his hand away. He went on to make 80 or 90 in that innings if i remember correctly. Raymond Price troubled him in India a few years ago with his left arm spin. This was a stage where Tendulkar was unwilling to leave his crease against the spinner. These are the battles which have defined him in many ways. These constitute the ammunition that critics will hurl at him whenever they seek to belittle his efforts. But, at a more fundamental, cricketing level, these are the contests which reveal the unheroic nature of his game. He is nothing if not amazingly dexterous in his use of batting technique. He is able to shift from prominently front foot play, to a more conservative back and across shuffle in the middle of an innings, indeed, from spell to spell. He is able to bide his time and he’s able to attack. There is no trademark Tendulkar way of batting in my opinion. His batting is not about blazing cover drives, or exhilirating stroke play, or dour defense, or gritty survival. It is about all of those, and hence is about something much more fundamental. He is not just an entertainer or just a match-winner or just a technically correct, dependable, classy Test Match batsman. He is truly a cricketer, in the best sense of the word. He lives the contest between bat and ball, and is better equipped than most others to deal with it. He is able to do it without letting his own self get in the way. He has now spend more than half his life as an international cricketer, over the 19 most important years in the modern cricketing era. As Cricket heads into the Twenty20 age, with all its accompanying confusions about sport, entertainment, worth, value and quality, Sachin Tendulkar’s career stands out as what Cricket at its best can offer. He may just be the last of a dying breed - that of the truly great cricketing sportsman.

Sachin Tendulkar, who turns 35 on Thursday, will not be seen in action on Wednesday in the second league encounter between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings in the IPL Twenty20 to be played at the MA Chidambaram stadium here. I am not too sure whether Tendulkar will play in our match tomorrow,” South African all-rounder Shaun Pollock said. Tendulkar, captain of the Mumbai team, has been recovering from a groin injury and wasn’t part of his side’s first match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday. His team suffered a five-wicket loss in the game. Talking to the media after the team’s practice session here, Pollock said “the physio of the team will have a look at his injury. Explaining the importance of the ace batsman’s availability in the later part of the tournament, he said, “We are not pushing him since it is a long tournament. He is a key player in our team’s scheme of things and we do not want to rush him. In Tendulkar’s absence, Sri Lanka’s star opener Sanath Jayasuriya will have to shoulder the responsibility, he said. “Yes. He is in good touch and he will continue with his form. If he gets going in the initial seven overs, there will be good score on board. He knows how to handle Muthiah (Muralitharan).  It will be a case of marginal errors when we play Chennai. They have a very good top half. It is going to be a high scoring game,” Pollock said, adding his side was balanced with a lot of all-rounders and good depth in bowling.

Sachin is ready to open his batting career in T20 format of cricket. This match will be played in Melbourne Australia between India and Australia. It will be a new experience for little master. Sachin will be the most experieced palyer in this match. Sachin was dropped in T20 world cup which India won last year.  Australia is taking this match as challenge as they were failed in T20 world cup where the one day world champions experienced three defeats, from India Pakistan and Zimbabwe respectively.

The fans are curious to see Sachin Tendulkar in short form of game. I hope Tendulkar will be pretty energetic as he is in other form of cricket. Best of luck Tendulkar.

I am sorry Sachin was not included in T20 match later on. I should change heading to sachin is not ready for T20.
