Badrinath replaces Tendulkar in the ODI squad

The injury sustained by Tendulkar during the second day of the third and final Test against Sri Lanka is severe enough to rule him out of the following ODI series.

However, his unavailability brings a cheer to many Badrinath fans as he replaces Tendulkar in the ODI squad.

As Tendulkar opens for India in the ODI’s it is doubtful that Badrinath a middle order batsmen, will ever play. Tendulkar’s absence means Gambhir – Sehwag partnership continues unbroken.

Coming back to Tendulkar’s injury, wonder why I am unsurprised.

Hopefully Badri makes better use of his opportunity than DK and Patel.

RS,

I have qualms over that. Traditionally, Tamil Nadu players fail to capitalize their chances.

If Badri was an Mumbai player I would have been relaxed.
