Batting maestro Sachin Tendukar, on Wednesday, said he has completely recovered from the toe injury, and added the lack of match practice would not affect his performance in South Africa. “I have been playing top-class cricket for more than ten years. I don't think it would affect my performance on the field,” Tendulkar said in Mumbai.
He said the new inner soles, which he last week acquired from South Africa, had helped him tremendously and there was absolutely no pain on his right big toe. “The inner soles cushion the injured toe and I feel very comfortable when I run. I think I have totally recovered,” the Indian batting mainstay said.
Tendulkar suffered the injury in Zimbabwe during the last league match of a triangular series against the West Indies on July 4.
Last week, he had consulted arthroscopic surgeon Dr Mark Fergusson in South Africa, who prescribed the use of special inner soles. Bureau Report
