BCCI brass backs troubled Sachin Tendulkar to bounce back​

The Indian cricket board (BCCI) said on Wednesday that it would stand by the under-pressure Sachin Tendulkar, whose poor form and possible retirement have become a topic of hot debate after India's humiliation by England in the Mumbai Test.

Some BCCI sources had initially indicated that the board would take a call on Tendulkar if he failed in both the upcoming Tests against England, in Kolkata and Nagpur.

However, a top BCCI official told TOI that the board is not reading too much into Tendulkar's recent string of failures.

When asked what the board's stand would be if Tendulkar fails in both the Tests, the official said he was convinced "Sachin will come good" in the Kolkata Test staring on December 5.

"Tendulkar is a champion cricketer and there is no question of not supporting him when he going through a rough patch," the official told TOI. "He has always delivered when his detractors have ruled him out," he added.
