Sachin Tendulkar is unlikely to play in Mumbai Indians.
Sachin Tendulkar is unlikely to play in Mumbai Indians’ IPL Qualifier 2
in Kolkata on Friday against the Rajasthan Royals as he is yet to
recover from his left-wrist injury he sustained in a match against
Sunrisers Hyderabad last week.
“Sachin Tendulkar has injured his left wrist and hand while batting in
the game against SRH on 13th May. On investigations we have found that
there is some swelling in the wrist and around one of the tendons of his
left hand,” Mumbai Indians said in a statement.
“We have addressed this with an injection in his hand by a hand and
wrist specialist. He is currently under rehab and is progressing well.
The normal recovery time for this injury is around 3 weeks, however
rehab results in the past 9 days have shown reasonable improvements and
we are hopeful to get him back in action as soon as possible,” the
statement said.
Mumbai Indians also said that pacer Dhawal Kulkarni will no longer take
part in the tournament.
“Dhawal has sustained a side-strain during the game against Kings XI
Punjab in Dharamshala on 18th May. He will take about 6 weeks to recover
completely and has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament.”
Mumbai lost the Qualifier 1 against Chennai Super Kings by 48 runs in
Delhi on Tuesday night.
