Sachin put life at risk for the country

In the 2003 World Cup, Sachin Tendulkar’s 98 -run shocking innings was in the headlines against Pakistan. Despite the stretch in the thigh, he stood firmly at the crease. But fewer people know that in that World Cup, Sachin, despite being seriously suffering from diarrhea (diarrhea), put his health in the field against Sri Lanka and put his health at risk.

Use of tissue paper in underwear

Only less people know about the problem that this Indian batsman had to face during the match against Pakistan and then Sri Lanka. During the match against Sri Lanka, Sachin was struggling with diarrhea and had to use tissue paper in underwear to deal with it.

Body had to risk

Sachin could not stand properly

Sachin has revealed this in his autobiography ‘Playing It My Way’. Sachin had said, ‘That match against Pakistan was the only match of my career in which I took the runner. It was a World Cup match and could not stand properly. It felt as if someone had tied 500 kg in me. You can ask our then Physio Andrew Leaps about this.

Body damage due to cramps

Sachin said, ‘There was a lot of pain in my body and I was running to take runs, which was not right. I fell on the field and I tried to get up, but could not get up. I felt that the body would suffer a lot of damage due to cramps. Tendulkar said that taking excess salt water had the opposite effect to recover before the match against Sri Lanka. He said, ‘I had a problem in my stomach, but I wanted to avoid cramps in the next match, so I was taking more salt water solution. It became so much that I had a problem of diarrhea.

Sachin landed on the field even after his health deteriorated

Sachin was asked how he decided to enter the field even after such a physical condition, then this former veteran said, ‘When you play at this level, you have to face those challenges. You have to go there and play, whether I stand there, batting or not.
