Tendulkar's personal practice assistant keeps him busy


The man who is keeping India's batting great Sachin Tendulkar busy at the nets has no credentials to warrant being part of the tour. But Tendulkar has made sure that D.V.G.I. Raghavindraa was part of the touring party.
The 27-year-old Raghavindraa, an employee with Bangalore's National Cricket Academy (NCA), has never played a first-class match but is playing a key role in India's quest to win their first Test series on Australian soil.
Raghavindraa's throw-down skills have benefitted not only Tendulkar but Rahul Dravid as well. Instead of facing bowlers at the nets, Tendulkar kept himself busy with the throw-downs from Raghavindraa at the Manuka Oval.
Raghavindraa helped Tendulkar prepare for the barrage of outswingers he is likely to receive from young gun James Pattinson.
