With his ankle injury improving, Sachin Tendulkar today rejoined Team India's practice session for a few hits on the second day of the cricket conditioning
camp here.
"He continues to get ice treatment. Physio John Gloster says he
is improving," Indian team's administrative manager Surendra
Bhave told .
Tendulkar, who skipped the morning session, took the willow
for about 15 minutes at the indoor gymnasium adjacent to Eden Gardens
in the afternoon.
The Indian team spent an hour in the indoor facility where
the practice venue was temporarily shifted due to unseasonal rains.
Later, when the team resumed practice outdoors at the Eden
Gardens once the ground condition improved, Tendulkar was present throughout
though he did not take part in the activities.
However, an indicator of his improved condition was that he did not seem to
be in discomfort while walking.
Bhave said "You saw he was walking freely. He doesn't
have much of a swelling. The pain is also not there." Tendulkar sprained
his right ankle on the opening day of the camp yesterday, when he ducked awkwardly
to a bouncer from pacer S Sreesanth and lost his balance.
In pain, Tendulkar limped back to the dressing room without
taking any further part in the practice session at the camp ahead of India's
tour of Bangladesh beginning next week.
