The comprehensive win for the Mumbai Indians over the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first IPL 3 semi final was twinged with pain as the MI captain had injured his hand.

Sachin Tendulkar split the webbing of his right hand and was forced to go off the field for receiving six stitches on the hand. However, he dismissed the idea that he would be unavailable for the IPL 3 final saying he expected to be fit for the grand finale, the first time that the Mumbai Indians have reached the final.
