Training for D-day

Sachin Tendulkar goes through a fielding drill on day three of the training camp in Chennai for the Asia Cup to be played from July 16.

Tendulkar dismissed statements that he had mellowed over the years as a batsman.

"Maybe people think I have mellowed down; it is not really so. It is just viewing differently, as there are different ways of scoring runs. I think that I am one of the players whose strike rate is among the highest. If you analyze the strike rate, it exactly tells you how fast or how slow you play or how you have played throughout your life," Tendulkar said.
