Chandigarh, May 13: Fans are seething with anger but star batsman Sachin Tendulkar on Thursday threw his weight behind Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men, saying people should not lose faith in the current crop of Indian players despite their flop show in the Twenty20 World Cup.
Tendulkar said cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties and people should retain their faith in Dhoni and his men since it was more or less the same bunch of players who won India the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup.
“There will be ups and downs but you just have to have your faith in players because the same lot got us the World Cup,” Tendulkar, who was here on a promotional campaign, told a gathering today.
Despite the debacle in the West Indies, Tendulkar said India remained the number one team for him.
“We should not forget that we are still the number one team in the world,” he said.
