Mumbai, June 06: Sachin Tendulkar today returned home after a successful operation on his left hand ring finger at a hospital in Baltimore in the US. A tired looking Tendulkar arrived by a British Airways flight alongwith doctor wife Anjali, daughter Sara and son Arjun. They were received at the airport by his elder brother Ajit.

Family sources said Tendulkar was fine and would now work on his rehabilitation under sports medicine expert Dr Anant Joshi.

Tendulkar had not only played with the injured finger in the recent World Cup in South Africa but had also amassed over 600 runs to win the man-of-the-tournament award.
