Sachin's finger is fine,
says Harbhajan
Mumbai Indians skipper Harbhajan Singh on Thursday said that his side is hoping that Sachin Tendulkar is available to play their IPL game against Pune Warriors here on April 6 as the x-ray report did not show anything wrong with his injured hand.
Tendulkar got hit on his right hand index finger when he fended at a short, rising ball from Chennai Super Kings speedster Doug Bollinger in the IPL 5 opener in Chennai on Wednesday and retired hurt.
Talking about the match against Sourav Ganguly-led Warriors on Friday, Harbhajan said their opponents were a good outfit even without India's World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh who is recovering after taking treatment for a rare form of cancer.
"Pune Warriors are a very good side and we don't want to take anything for granted. Without Yuvraj they are obviously slightly lesser (strong). But they still have the likes of Ganguly, Robin Uthappa, Manish Pandey. We just want to concentrate what we have and what we can do," said the feisty off-spinner.
"Always good to win your first game, but that is over. We want to move ahead. Like in Chennai we need to start well and hopefully finish the game here tomorrow on the same note," he said.
Stating that captaining the team was challenging, Harbhajan again thanked Tendulkar, whom he replaced at the helm after the champion batsman relinquished the job before the start of the tournament, for the support he has been giving to him right through his career.

virat kohli press interview
India's latest batting sensation Virat Kohli on Thursday said Sachin Tendulkar deserves country's highest civilian award - the Bharat Ratna.
"He (Tendulkar) really deserves Bharat Ratna. Whatever he has done, I don't think anyone else can be even be close to achieve (100 hundreds in international cricket) what he achieved in last 22 years ... it is something impossible," Kohli told reporters, after signing as Brand Ambassador to Toyota Kirloskar Motor.

The demands for the award have found a vocal support across all sections of the society, both national and international.
Excited about this year's IPL, Kohli said unlike last IPL, he is pretty relaxed during this edition with string of good performances behind him in the international arena.
"I am really excited about this year's IPL. I am feeling relaxed this time around because in last IPL, I wanted to prove a point. IPL 3 was not that great performance wise," he said.
Kohli said though he considered himself to be in the confidence zone, he was not complacent and working hard to help RCB's prospects.
"We (RCB) have 18 games to go. It is going to be a challenge for everyone ... I am looking forward for each and every game ... I don't think about the past or think too much ahead of the future," he said.
Earlier, Toyota Kirloskar Motor announced Kohli as its brand ambassador.

Mumbai Indians thrash Chennai Super Kings by 8 wickets
Richard Levi smashed 35-ball fifty to help Mumbai Indians thump defending champions Chennai Super Kings by 8 wickets in the opening match of the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Chasing a modest 113-run target, Levi put on 69 runs for the opening wicket with Sachin Tendulkar (16 retired hurt) to set up the run chase perfectly for the Mumbai.
James Franklin (25 not out) and Ambati Rayudu (18 not out) finished off the chase with 19 balls to spare as Mumbai started their new campaign on the right note.
Mumbai's only worry will be Sachin's injury as the master blaster left the field with an injured finger as Chennai bounced back with two quick Mumbai Indians wickets but it turned out to be too little too late.
Tendulkar smashed a six and a four in his 15-ball knock before a bouncer from Bollinger hit him on the glove.
Doug Bollinger dismissed Rohit Sharma (0) in the ninth over to reduce Mumbai to 70/2.
Mumbai lost Richard Levi (50) after he added quick 69 runs with Tendulkar. Dwayne Bravo ended Levi's whirlwind innings, after the batsman slammed three sixes and six boundaries in his 34-ball half century.
Tendulkar and Levi started Mumbai Indians run chase aggressively as they raced to fifty in just six overs.
Electing to field, discipline Mumbai bowlers bowled out defending champions Chennai for paltry 112 in 19.5 overs.
Keiron Pollard (2-15), Lasith Malinga (2-16) and Pragyan Ojha (2-17) took two Chennai wickets each to go with three run-outs.
Asked to bat, Chennai lost wickets at regular intervals and failed to build their innings after losing their three top-order batsmen inside ten overs.
Suresh Raina (36) top-scored for the hosts as he hit a six and two boundaries in his quick-fire 26 balls innings before becoming Ojha's first victim.
Skipper MS Dhoni's run out did not favour Chennai as they lost their last seven wickets for 32 runs in the end.
Pollard dismissed Albie Morkel (3) soon after Ojha's twin-strike. Double-strike by leg-spinner Ojha put Mumbai Indians in front against Chennai in the middle overs. Ojha dismissed Dwayne Bravo (19) in the 12th over to reduce Chennai to 80/4 in 11.2 overs, after he scalped the prized-wicket of Raina (36) in his previous over.
Super Kings lost Murali Vijay (10) and Francois Du Plessis (3) inside six overs. James Franklin dismissed Vijay in the sixth over to reduce Chennai to 38/2 in 5.5 overs. CSK lost opener Du Plessis early in the first over to make a disastrous start to their league campaign.
Earlier, Mumbai skipper Harbhajan Singh won the toss and decided to field against Chennai.
The season's lung opener at the MA Chidambaram stadium could not have got any better as two of the strongest teams in the tournament will set the tone for the high-octane Twenty20 tournament over the next eight weeks.
Banking on their home advantage which enabled them to win back-to-back titles, the Chennai outfit, led by talismanic Mahendra Singh Dhoni, will be hoping for their third consecutive IPL crown, but for that to happen they will have to pull out all stops to ensure a winning start to their campaign as their rivals -- Mumbai Indians -- appear to hold a slender edge.

Sachin relinquishes MI captaincy to Bhajji Harbhajan Singh,
sachin tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar in discussion with the management of Mumbai Indians has decided to hand over the responsibilities of captaining Mumbai Indians in Season 2012 of the Indian Premier League to ace off spinner Harbhajan Singh.
Commenting on the decision, Sachin Tendulkar said, “The Mumbai Indians is more than a team. It is like a family to me. At this point of time, I feel I need a break from the responsibility of captaincy of the Mumbai Indians. After due consideration, I discussed my intention to hand over the Captainship of the team to Harbhajan Singh, with Mukeshbhai and Nitabhabhi. I was touched by the graciousness and wholehearted support they offered me while emphasising that they would accept any decision which helps me to continue enjoying the game. Harbhajan will have my wholehearted support as the senior most player in the team. ”
Nita Ambani of Mumbai Indians said, “It was a very difficult moment when Sachin expressed his desire to relinquish the captaincy. But we believe that Sachin is the best judge on such matters and hence, as always, we fully support his decision. I have learnt a lot during the last three seasons working with Sachin closely. Sachin is the soul of Mumbai Indians, and I am sure he will guide Bhajii as he takes on the responsibility of captaining Mumbai Indians.”
The newly appointed captain of Mumbai Indians, Harbhajan Singh said, “Sachin Paaji spoke to me about his decision to of wanting me to take over the responsibility of the team. It is huge honour and I thank Paaji and Nita Bhabhi for the faith reposed in my abilities. Mumbai Indians is a great team with explosive talent and promising youngsters. I am committed to do the very best and look forward to leading the team to play to its full potential during the season.”
Mumbai Indians plays its first match of Season 2012 on April 4, 2012 in Chennai.

Near impossible for anybody to reach Sachin's landmark: Gilchrist

Near impossible for anybody to reach Sachin's landmark: Gilchrist,
sachin and Gilchrist photos
Former Australian wicketkeeper and explosive opener Adam Gilchrist feels there is a big gulf between Sachin Tendulkar and the rest of the top batsmen, something that makes it almost impossible for anyone to get anywhere near the legend's landmark of 100 international centuries.
Giving example of Ricky Ponting, who has recently retired from the ODI format, Gilchrist said 29 centuries separate Tendulkar from his former skipper.
"That speaks about Tendulkar's greatness -- the gap between him and the rest. He is way ahead. I really doubt that anybody would ever break this record," Gilchirst said.
"If you look at the records, Ponting is the world's best batsmen next to Tendulkar. But his combined tally (of Test and one-day centuries) is 71 (41-30)," he said.
Tendulkar's critics could argue that he has played more matches against countries like Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, he said adding but even 10 centuries were added to Ponting's, he would still be 19 centuries away.
"Tendulkar's record is truly unique, remarkable. He is playing with the same intensity for last 22 years... That shows how big a player Tendulkar is," he said.
Gilchrist, who was part of an invincible side that dominated world cricket winning a hat-trick of World Cups from 1999-2007, said Indians need to be patient in the coming days.
"Rahul Dravid has just retired... Now only VVS Laxman and Tendulkar are playing. It would be a huge boots to fill when Tendulkar goes away. We faced a similar phase. But the fans need to patient," he said.
Gilchrist feels that India have cricketing talent in abundance but the supporters need to be patient.
"Undoubtedly, there is no dearth of talent in India. In fact, it's just the opposite. The fans just need to be patient with the youngsters like Virat Kohli," he said.
With his recent exploits, Kohli proved that he was ready to step up and, the Australian said," To me, he is one of the best players in the world cricket at the moment."
Asked if Kohli could fill in the No. 3 slot left void by Dravid, Gilchrist said: "He is an upcoming player. I don't know his preference. And, I also don't want to form an opinion about him. He has showed that he is very confident against the new ball. He is surely a great player in the making."
The Kings XI coach-cum-captain in the upcoming IPL, Gilchrist disagreed that too much cricket and Twenty20 was the reason for India's routs in the recent overseas series in England and Australia.
India were ill-prepared for the Australia tour against a very professional attack that put pressure on the batsmen, he said.
"Twenty20 is a very exciting concept that requires skill at a high level. It needs a lot of thought and you have to maintain the intensity and pace coupled with the pressure. I'm sure the Test cricket is ultimate," he said.
"The challenge here is for the administrators not to overdo.... If it's well administered, there is room for all the three formats," he said, giving example of the poor scheduling of the one-off T20 against South Africa in Johannesburg on Friday.

Tendulkar's landmark achievement will remain forever
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly feels that Sachin Tendulkar's landmark achievement of 100 centuries will never be broken.
Answering to a query from Gulf News on what will be the impact of Tendulkar's historic achievement, Ganguly, who is here to take part in the Emirates Airline Twenty20 tournament tomorrow, said: "It is a colossal achievement, something which I honestly feel nobody can break. I doubt in modern days anybody can play for 23 years. It is a long time with so much cricket — T20, Test and One-day. Getting to that landmark will be something unachievable."
To a query on Rahul Dravid's retirement, he said: "All good things come to an end. He has been a champion player for India. In terms of runs in Test cricket Dravid is just after Tendulkar and that just goes to show how good a player he is. He is 39 and all good things have to come to an end and those will be very big boots to fill."
Ganguly, well-known for his eloquence and his strong views on the game, was at his best while talking about some of the recent debates and issues in the game. When asked what is the quality that he saw in Tendulkar over the years that made him the greatest? Ganguly said: "It is his terrific ability as cricketer. He has gone better and better and adjusted his game to different conditions and different stages of his career. Frankly, he has been blessed with a special ability which everyone is not."
Regarding the raging debate as to whether Tendulkar is now under pressure to retire, Ganguly said: "In India, all these are stories which make one-day headlines and honestly there is no pressure on Tendulkar. He will play till the time he performs and till the time he wants to play. Let us be honest, he has earned that right and when you get to 100 international centuries obviously you have more right than others [to retire when he wants] and he deserves every bit of it."
Success
Ganguly who was one of India's most successful captains candidly admitted that Team India is going through a tough phase. "We were unlucky in the Asia Cup, but there is nothing seriously wrong with the team. They messed up against Bangladesh, but they beat the two strong teams [Sri Lanka and Pakistan]. India played poorly in Australia and England which I am sure they will try and rectify. India will go through a rebuilding phase which has already started. I had finished about two-and-half years ago and Dravid is finished now. I don't see much longer [time] for [VVS] Laxman and then only the big man [Tendulkar] is left. So the re-building phase has already started and we will have to be a bit patient."
However, Ganguly made it a point to express that India is better than Pakistan. "India has got the better of Pakistan in the last 10 to 12 years. It was not the case during [Javed] Miandad's days and when Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis were at their peak. In Sharjah, India used to get clobbered by Pakistan, but things have change over the last 10 years and India has been a better team than Pakistan."
Talking about the future and whether Virat Kohli has the potential to be the next India captain, Ganguly said: "Kohli is a terrific player, but it is too early to say whether he can be the future captain. He is a terrific One-day player and it's still early days [for him] in Test cricket because he has just played about 10 Test matches. I will judge him at the end of 50 Test matches as I believe that it is the yard stick for any cricketer. He has terrific ability and the knock against Pakistan under pressure was outstanding."
