He recalls how his patients suddenly wanted to learn more about tennis elbow! Joshi, who was then BCCI’s medical consultant, says that patience is the one thing which Tendulkar has in abundance. “He was anxious but knew that these things take time.” Tendulkar, says Joshi, is one of the most hard-working cricketers he knows, “Never shying away from extra training sessions, and he knows how his body responds to minor niggles.” FIRST BOWLING SPELL The 1993 Hero Cup will always be remembered for Sachin Tendulkar the bowler. In the semi-finals against South Africa, India was in a spot of bother. Then-captain Mohammed Azharuddin recalls that it was a gamble to throw the ball to Tendulkar for the last over. Needing six to win, putting in a part-time bowler could have backfired. “Not even once did he say ‘Don’t give me the ball’,” says Azhar. “[He] was confident that he would lead us to victory.” Both Azhar and Tendulkar would have been crucified if the gamble had not paid off. “As a captain,” says the captain, “you always had confidence that Sachin would deliver, be it with the ball or bat.”Pages: 1 [2]
