Player: | SR Tendulkar |
Event: | India in New Zealand 2008/09 |
DateLine: 13th March 2009
Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar will miss the fifth ODI against New Zealand due to an abdomen injury, which kept him out of the fourth ODI as well. Tendulkar suffered a painful blow from Blackcaps fast bowler Iain O'Brien during the second ODI at Wellington. Despite stiffness in the abdomen region, he played the third game and aggravated the injury while scoring a magnificent century, his 43rd in limited overs cricket.
 
In 20 years of international cricket, this is possibly the first instance that the Mumbaikar has suffered internal bleeding to a blow with a cricket ball. Tendulkar's chest had been peppered with bouncers in the Caribbean. But despite suffering clots on the rib-cage, he had braved to take on Mervyn Dillon's artillery in the 2002 series against the West Indies. His ankle, elbow, back, foot and little finger have troubled him one time or the other during his illustrious career.LATEST SCORES
