The Indian team Saturday began their three-day training camp ahead of their Test series against Australia starting next week with two hectic practice sessions, with senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar returning in the mix after his retirement from ODI cricket. Tendulkar, who struggled against England in the recent home Test series, batted for two hours and 15 minutes in two separate sessions, one in the morning and another in afternoon, lasting five-and-a-half hours in total.
Interestingly, the out-of-system young and unknown raw bowlers who were called for service by the support staff bowled at Tendulkar, who did not ask them to bowl to his wishes. Tendulkar also rolled his arms against Harbhajan Singh, who enjoyed his batting by lifting 'net bowlers' out of the park a couple of times and even breaking windowpane glasses at pavilion area. Tendulkar also hurled 'throwdowns' with leather balls to Virat Kohli who worked on his technique to sort out some grey areas in his batting.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni got down to the details of batting than wicket-keeping. He batted for nearly 25 minutes.
