When Tendulkar was asked the same question again, he was guarded. “I always try hard to just go out and do the job... just try to go and enjoy like I do every time when I go out to bat,” he said.
His satisfying net session, the heartening performances of Mumbai Indians youngsters, the stand-out show by stand-in skipper Shaun Pollock and the overall improvement in the performance of the team meant that Tendulkar was in high spirits at the half-way stage.
When asked who would sit out to make way for him, there was a rare show of the Tendulkar sense of humour. “We all sit in the dug out for Twenty20 games, don’t we?” he answered.
