More Quality Cricket In Offing In World Cup: Sachin Tendulkar

MELBOURNE: Cricket World Cup 2015 brand ambassador Sachin Tendulkar predicted that the 14-nation tournament will be even more competitive as it progresses after the first 10 days produced exciting and entertaining cricket.

Talking on the sidelines of India-South Africa match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the former Indian batting superstar advised the sides and the players to find and maintain the right balance so that they remain fresh and ready for the big matches ahead.

“It’s been exciting. You’ve already seen a couple of surprises. The teams have played competitive cricket. The standard has been good, and that is what people want to witness. I feel as the tournament progresses it's going to produce some fantastic cricket and we're looking forward to it,” Tendulkar said in a International Cricket Council release. 

“To have the same successful combination going all the way is going to be the key and to find that balance between staying fresh and not overburdening yourself with additional practice sessions. You just need to find that right balance." 

Tendulkar, who is the record-holder for most runs and hundreds in One-Day Internationals, said the 50-over games were now producing more runs and centuries due to changes in playing conditions as well as the emergence of the Twenty20 format.
