Ranchi, Febuary 04: Sachin Tendulkar’s mere presence in the dressing room is enough to lift the morale of the players, feels India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Dhoni also urged the other players in the team to perform and take the pressure off the champion batsman.
“When Sachin is with the team, the morale of the players is very high. But it is not right to put pressure on him. All the players should perform and take the pressure off him,” said Dhoni.
The India skipper reiterated that the team would like to win the forthcoming World Cup for Tendulkar, who will, in all probability, be playing for the last time in cricket’s biggest event.
“Team India wants to give (this) World Cup to Sachin as a gift,” he said during the inauguration of the T20 Jharkhand Premier League (JPL) here today.
