Mohali: Sachin Tendulkar will be using a new bat for the India-Pakistan semifinal. He walked out of the team bus carrying two fresh bats that glittered in the flashlights as photographers went about clicking the bat that had no marks of the ball.
Tendulkar is fully aware that his team and country are just two wins away from a dream he and many others have been dreaming of for the past 28 years. Being extremely fastidious about the bat he uses, and since it was new, he personally did some knocking with it in preparation for the match.
For nearly 15 minutes, he got his teammates to bowl to him to test out his bat.
When he went for a warm-up football game, he requested his team's support staff to hit the balls.
Will this be the bat that will fetch him his 100th century?
