He is an attacking bowler and loves to pitch; He will look to swing the ball, place it in the stumps, full-up, hoping the batsmen go across the line. We need to take care of this. I am sure the batsmen must have thought about it. They will want to keep it straight forward, and then slowly, once they get a good start, take advantage of it,” Tendulkar instructed Hindustan Times.
“There’s not much that needs to change. I would say don’t go over the line,” Tendulkar mentioned.
