The biggest advantage of opening along with Tendulkar is that as a player I get a great sense of security. I hardly feel any pressure because he takes all the pressure on himself and allows youngsters like me to play freely. He always tells me to play the way I want - whether I want to attack or take my time and bat – and it does not matter because he is holding fort at the other end. Obviously, I get to learn a lot from batting along with him, as also instant messages and words of wisdom while in the middle. If you see our performances this season, we have invariably won when Tendulkar has played anchor.
Tendulkar has struck 74 fours and 3 sixes as of April 13. He has reinvented Twenty20 cricket with subtle touches and sublime timing and placement. You have the best seat in the house...
Yes I know! It is a treat to watch him bat from the other end. There are people who feel Twenty20 is all about power and big-hitting but I have never seen Tendulkar play any rash shots, and yet he maintains a great strike rate and gets us off to a flying start. In fact, he never waits for me to start doing the big-hitting. He just keeps piercing the gaps and before I realise we would be 50-0 or something like that. Batting with him has changed my perception about batting. I get to watch his feet movement, his bat speed and follow through, and how he plays the ball so late. It is a treat to watch him bat.
:whistle: :Aarathi: :sara-vedi:
To read the entire interview go here
I would like to see MI bat first and put up a huge total tomorrow. Batting is a concern for MI, bowling isn't. I for one would like to see Pollard coming up the order (probably at 4) and make quick runs.
Dhawan
Tendulkar
Tiwary
Duminy
Pollard
Satish
Rayudu
Murtaza
Bhajji
Mclaren
Salinga
(Zaheer rested)
P.S: I am sorry to say this (Nerd, and other TN Fans and supporters) I think Sathish will be dropped for the semi's. It's just my gut instinct :oops:.

Three of our guys in Top 10 wicket takers :thumbsup:. Let's hope they carry on the good work to the semis and hence forward.

MI's bowling attack is best in this IPL. They are not spectacular but they are consistent.
I have given up on Satish. :oops:
MI should win both the remaining matches 8-)
Hope they don't fumble in the last stages of the tournament.
Afn sathish has wasted his chances. I still feel he should have exchanged places with tiwary. He is the kind who needs a settled place and time to succeed - and mark my words, tiwary will let mi down in the semis, unless he gets lucky, sathish would have been a better bet if groomed there.
Its all on sachin now, and pollard if he gets lucky.
