Sachin Tendulkar's foot injury is a severe blow to India's hopes of carrying off the silverware in Sri Lanka. The master batsman bruised his foot when fielding in the Coca-Cola Cup final against West Indies last week and has been advised 2-3 weeks rest although he could recover in time for India's last round-robin clash on 2 August. It heaps up the pressure on the other members of India's much vaunted batting line-up who will have to summon up hidden reserves of grit and determination to overcome the grim void at the top.
