India's master batsman Sachin Tendulkar is the front-runner for the Player of the series award in the Asia Cup cricket tournament, which concludes in Colombo on Sunday.Tendulkar is significantly less in terms of runs scored to a few other batsmen but his 10 wickets have boosted his stock considerably and marks him out as the favorite to win the player of the series award. Tendulkar has scored 207 runs with two half centuries from five innings and has also picked up 10 wickets with his sharp turning leg-breaks. He is behind Indian captain Sourav Ganguly (240) on runs scored and his tally of wickets is less than left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan (12) too but overall he stakes a strong claim for the Maruti Esteem which goes to the best player of the tournament. Tendulkar could face a challenge from three other players -- Sanath Jayasuriya (278), Shoaib Malik (318) and the dark horse, Pathan. Both Jayasuriya and Shoaib Malik have hit two centuries in the tournament. While the tournament is already over for Malik, another powerful performance from Jayasuriya could still earn the title to the dynamic Sri Lankan opener. in-depth coverage > Asia Cup 2004 > |
