How much tennis elbow injury has affected Sachins career?
More than the number of matches missed due to the tennis elbow and the subsequent recuperation, it had affected his playing style after that. He was forced to use a lighter bat, and had to curb his aggressive nature. He bowled very little after that injury. He had to skip many ODI series to avoid the recurrence of that injury. Obviously, if not for that injury, he would have scored more than 100 international centuries by now. But the good thing is, he’s back to his best, and even though he avoids playing in certain ODI, he is still aggressive. And with this form, he is ethereal bliss to watch. He combines grace and brutal aggression in his strokeplay. Even today, he is the batsman, all other teams is feared of (even if they don’t admit it). His is the wicket, that is priced by many bowlers. With him at the crease in full flow, victory is never unattainable.
