Sachin offers tips to youngsters

Melbourne, February 7:: Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar offered tips to younger members of the Indian team in the first outdoor session which the players managed in Melbourne this evening after a long lay-off due to rains.

Struck by persistent rain in the last one week in Melbourne and Brisbane which restricted them to unfinished games and indoor nets, the visitors had their first full-blown nets at the MCG with Tendulkar having ears of star-struck youngsters of the team.

No sooner than the trainer John Gloster had made the squad go through their stretching exercises, Tendulkar took Robin Uthappa and Suresh Raina aside and spoke at length about the conditions and pitches which they would come up against in the coming weeks.

Tendulkar then reserved a good part of his discourse for Rohit Sharma who seemed eager to latch on to the pearls of wisdom from the great man.

Indeed Sharma made sure that he was tackling the deliveries in the desired manner by having his batting video-taped by team’s computer analyst Dhananjay.

Lalchand Rajput, assistant manager of the team, said “Sachin has so much of experience and he is eager to share it with the youngsters. They would benefit greatly by his advice."
