Sachin Tendulkar Raring To Go, Says He Is Fine

The second test between India and England is all set to begin tomorrow at Trendbridge. Sachin Tendulkar was suffering from a viral infection during the Lords test.It was no surprise, therefore, that their mood visibly lifted when Sachin Tendulkar finally walked into the ground. Armed with three bats, two pairs of pads and the India cap firmly on his head, he seemed perfectly all right. 

He smiled at everybody and confirmed that he was indeed perfectly all right. "The medicine that I had taken to subdue the viral had weakened me," he said. "Now I am fine."

As if prove his point, he went straight into the team's football match. he just kept hitting the ball straight back or leaving it alone; he spoke to him at regular intervals, indicating that he wanted to fine-tune his forward defensive stroke. Clearly, something was rankling him. He may not have been in top health at Lord's; but he is not going to blame that for failing to save the Test.
