So says a news item on rediff.

12:25 Nagging toe injury may push Sachin out of IPL 5: In other news: Sachin Tendulkar's participation in the entire fifth edition of the IPL is in doubt after the veteran batsman flew to London to consult a specialist regarding an old toe injury, which has resurfaced and may require surgery. "Yes, Sachin Tendulkar has gone to London for consultation about his toe injury. He has been playing with this injury for long. It is not sure when he will return as even a surgery may be needed to correct it," an Indian CricketBoard source said. The Indian Premier League is all set to commence on April 4 in Chennai, where Tendulkar's Mumbai Indians, the last year's runner-up will take on defending champions Chennai Super Kings at the M A Chidamaram Stadium.http://news.rediff.com/commentary/2012/mar/28/liveupdates.htm Wish Sachin a speedy recovery and weeks of good rest to recharge himself. Screw the IPL, please do not play if you are not fully fit and if possible stay away from the MI dug out. Also means Bhajji gets another chance to lead MI to glory.

Hopefully' date=' Sachin recovers in time. This particular toe injury has stayed for a long time ( 11 years if I am not wrong) with Sachin.[/quote'] If I'm not wrong, it first surfaced during India's tour of SL in 2001.

This is unfortunately true. TV revenues may not take that big a hit, but Stadium revenues take a huge hit. MI's first home game last season was against Kochi Tuskers and I attended that game. First game played at the Wankhede after the WC final. The stadium was jam packed. The only IPL game where I think Wankhede would be at a 90% capacity. People were only chanting 'Sachin Sachin' irrespective of where he was. The chant was the same when he was batting, in the dug out, fielding and even in the locker room. He scored a 100 in that game. The home average for last season was ~75% capacity, which was the highest among all the IPL sides. SRT definitely is the main crowd puller for MI.
