The last match played between England and New Zealand was strained on Sunday and after that Super Over was done, but the match was also tied here and the winner’s decision was made on the basis of which team has made more boundaries.

Prior to Tendulkar, the Indian team’s vice-captain Rohit Sharma also criticized the rule of winning on the basis of boundaries.

After that get another chance.

Tendulkar has spoken about Kohli and has said that those teams who have finished the league tour in the top-2 should definitely get the chance.

Sachin said, “I think teams that end the league phase while staying in the top two should get the benefit of consistently performing in the tournament.” Tendulkar has repeatedly talked of coming up in the batting order in the semi-final match of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

The former captain said, ‘I would send Dhoni to his regular place number-5. With the kind of experience India has in them and the experience they have, it takes time to make them an innings. Hardik Pandya could bat at number-6 and Dinesh Karthik number -7.
