Have faith in this team, Tendulkar tells fans
Chandigarh, May 13 (PTI) Fans are seething with anger but
star batsman Sachin Tendulkar Thursday threw his weight behind
Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men, saying people should not
lose faith in the current crop of Indian players despite their
flop show in the Twenty20 World Cup.
Tendulkar said cricket is a game of glorious
uncertainties and people should retain their faith in Dhoni
and his men since it was more or less the same bunch of
players who won India the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup.
"There will be ups and downs but you just have to have
your faith in players because the same lot got us the World
Cup," Tendulkar, who was here on a promotional campaign, told
a gathering.
Despite the debacle in the West Indies, Tendulkar said
India remained the number one team for him.
"We should not forget that we are still the number one
team in the world," he said.
India could not win a single Super Eight stage match of
the Twenty20 World Cup but Tendulkar found nothing wrong with
the players.
"The players have been training hard. They know and
understand their responsibilities. Sometimes thing clicks,
sometimes not," said Tendulkar, arguably the greatest batsman
cricket has ever seen.
"In IPL, we Mumbai Indians played so well but in the
final things didn't work out for us. So it can happen to
anyone," he argued.
"All I can say is that the players need support so that
they can start fresh again and look to deliver better
results," he added.
Tendulkar found nothing wrong in public angst but felt
fans should stay positive.
"I know it's disappointing but it has not happened for
the first time and it would not be the last time either. The
game has its uncertainties. We have to see how we can do
better.
"Obstacles keep coming, not just in cricket but in life
also. We need to look for the solution. We have to be positive
and there is always room for improvement," Tendulkar said.
Experts believe the Indian players looked jaded in the
tournament because they hardly had a breather after playing in
the Indian Premier League and even Dhoni said post-match
parties and travelling took toll on the players' body.
Tendulkar, however, was not ready to blame IPL for
India's debacle in the West Indies.
"I mean there are both advantages and disadvantages and
it depends on how you see it. From my point of view, I think
IPL gives opportunities to out-of-form players to return to
form," said Tendulkar. PTI AY
