Tendulkar, who was playing his 444th ODI on Saturday, made 24 during India’s innings but did not return to field. “We will have to open with someone,” captain MS Dhoni said after the match. “I don’t know what’s happening, whether we are getting someone from India (as replacement) or not. The visa will take three days at least, he will take the next flight, and by the time he comes here we will have just one match left. I don’t know who will open.”
However, the BCCI has already decided on sending Parthiv Patel as Tendulkar’s replacement for the rest of the series. “Sachin Tendulkar will not take further part in the ongoing ODI series against South Africa due to a hamstring injury. Parthiv Patel is being flown to South Africa as his replacement,” BCCI Secretary N Srinivasan said in a release.
