Sachin likely to play tomorrow, says Dhawan

Mohali, April 08: Mumbai Indians skipper Sachin Tendulkar, who had complained of dehydration and weakness during the last match in Chennai, is recovering well and is expected to play against Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League match tomorrow, teammate Shikhar Dhawan said today.

“Sachin is getting better. We are hopeful that he will be fit and ready to play tomorrow’s game,” Shikhar told reporters at the PCA stadium.

Dhawan said Tendulkar has led from the front in this tournament and the team is expecting him to guide them again tomorrow.

“Sachin is world’s best batsman and he is also a great captain. We have won many matches under his captaincy. He is very calm on the field and there is a great feeling out there.

Hopefully we will also win tomorrow’s game under his captaincy,” said the left-hander.
