India batsman Sachin Tendulkar had a legendary career. The right-handed batsman is the only cricketer in history to score 100 international hundreds, and still holds the record for most runs in Tests and ODIs. He also smashed several records throughout his 24-year long career. But the batsman faced a tough time in his career, when he was undergoing an elbow injury that threatened an early end to his career. Tendulkar, in an interview to India Today, spoke about his emotions during the tough phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTennis elbow was really bad and a number of my friends have had tennis elbow after that. When they didn\u2019t have it, they used to say how painful can it get; it can\u2019t be that bad that you can\u2019t hold a cricket bat. I said you need to experience it once, then you\u2019ll know. If you are locked inside a room, you\u2019ll not be able to open the door, it was that bad,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMine was really bad, I tried everything that I could: taking an injection, numbing this in the morning before the Test match. But nothing worked and the only option was to get operated. I was pushed in the corner so badly. All my physio friends and doctors tried but then certain things need to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to get back on the field. And I realised after my surgery I wasn\u2019t able to pick up a cricket bat, I was really depressed. I would call my friends 2o\u2019clock in the night, 4 o\u2019clock in the morning saying c\u2019mon lets go for a drive I can\u2019t sleep. And they would join me and without their support, my family\u2019s support, Anjali\u2019s parents. Of course At home Anjali was there who\u2019d be constantly be telling me you know the good things that have happened in my life to focus on those things,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
