Hughes seeks batting lessons from Tendulkar

Melbourne, August 29: Admiring Sachin Tendulkar’s consistency over close to two decades, dumped Australian opener Phil Hughes plans to seek batting tips from the Indian great to get back into the national team.

The 20-year-old Hughes, who was dropped after the first two Ashes Tests in England, is in Nagpur to work on his technique with his coach Neil D’Costa and plans a special Mumbai visit to catch up with Tendulkar.

“I’ll chew his ear off. I’ve got questions about a lot of things that I want to ask him. I like getting around and talking to the guys who have been around for a long time,” Hughes said.

“Sachin has been around and I’ve been watching him since I was a youngster.
