Viral infection keeps Sachin indoors for two sessions (Lead)
July 24th, 2011 - 10:35 pm ICT by IANS
London, July 24 (IANS) India’s batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar is suffering from a viral infection and missed the first two sessions on the fourth day of the first cricket Test against England at Lord’s here Sunday.
Tendulkar, who was “under medical supervision”, joined the team at the ground after tea.
He arrived from the team hotel only after the lunch session.
His illness is another worry for India as the vistors are already playing one bowler short in the match with Zaheer Khan straining his hamstring in the first day. Zaheer has since not taken the field.
Tendulkar, in fact batted with fever in India’s first innings and immediately left for the team hotel after he was out for 34.
Tendulkar failed to live up to the hype of bringing his 100th century at Lord’s in the 2,000th Test. Stuart Broad had him caught at slip, and he has only one innings left to achieve the landmark, and claim his first century at Lord’s in the process.
