"He had a training session yesterday and hit the balls for 45 minutes to an hour. His finger seems to look pretty fine, but the guys will take a call on him tomorrow before the game," MI opener Richard Levi today said at the pre-match media conference.
Tendulkar sustained the index finger injury in his right hand while trying to fend a snorter from Doug Bollinger of Chennai Super Kings in the lung opener at Chennai on April 4.
He later missed the team's three subsequent games, against Pune Warriors here on April 6, against Deccan Chargers at Vizag on April 9 and the previous game against Rajasthan Royals at home on April 11.
Tendulkar faced throw-downs from video analyst Dhananjay yesterday and continued the process today too in the initial part of the training session.
Levi, who has opened with two other partners after launching the innings with Tendulkar in his IPL debut tie against Chennai and also picking the man-of-the-match award for his half ton, said it was important to communicate well with the batting partner.
"If the communication is good, doesn't matter, whoever you are batting with is alright," he remarked about the scenario. MORE PTI SSR KHS
