Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul Haq is convinced that Sachin Tendulkar would take the risk of playing in the upcoming series even if he is half-fit considering the stakes involved in an Indo-Pak cricket encounter.
"He is a great player and would hate to miss this much awaited series. He says that even if he is half-fit, he will take the risk of playing in the series because he knows his influence over his team and the confidence his presence gives to his players
Tendulkar is recovering from an elbow injury but is expected to be fully fit before the first Test begins early next month.
Inzamam praised Indian batting maestro saying one could always learn something new from Tendulkar.
"We have been under Sachin's hammer quite often but I have always enjoyed watching him bat. Each time he bats out there, he teaches you something new. He is a thorough entertainer, a great cricket teacher and a true role model for the youngsters," Inzamam said.
