READY: Sachin Tendulkar is likely to take to the field on Sunday against Delhi Daredevils.
New Delhi: Sachin Tendulkar will make his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut in Sunday's game for the Mumbai Indians against Delhi Daredevils.
Sources confirm to CNN-IBN that Tendulkar, who has missed the first five matches of the Twenty20 tournament due to injury, will open the batting along with former Sri Lankan batsman Sanath Jayasuriya.
The Mumbai Indians have been dogged by the Harbhajan Singh controversy and managed to end a four-match losing streak in the league against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday.
Tendulkar has played no cricket since the first Test of the home series against South Africa in Chennai in March.
"Today he batted in the nets. He had a long bat and looked all right. There are two more days to go so hopefully he gets fitter and we will take the final call on the morning of May 4," Mumbai Indians coach Lalchand Rajput said.
