12-year old Arjun Tendulkar was spotted bowling to Suresh Raina, under the watchful eyes of his father
London: Arjun Tendulkar, the son of Sachin Tendulkar, practiced at
the Lord's cricket ground along with Indian cricketers ahead of the
first of four Tests between India and England.
The 12-year-old was
confident as he bowled to middle-order batsman Suresh Raina during a
net-practice session in the presence of his father.
Media reports suggest that the little maestro would accompany his father during most of the sessions of the Lord's Test.
Sachin
Tendulkar needs just one more century for his 100th international
hundred. He has 51 tons in Test cricket 48 in one-day internationals. He
has never made a ton at Lord''s.
Lord's will provide a fitting
backdrop for the 2000th Test in history and the 100th between the two
teams. England is seeking to challenge India's position as the
top-ranked Test side.
Notorious slow-starters in Tests, India are
coming off the back of a lacklustre display against Somerset in Taunton.
However, Dravid advised people not to read too much into that
performance.
The clash between the two sides sees one of the
world's best batting line-ups meeting an England bowling attack that has
performed well recently.
The presence of India's new coach Duncan
Fletcher also adds spice to the contest, with the Zimbabwean overseeing
England's rise to number two in the rankings before his departure from
the post in 2007.
