    "editor1": "<p><span style=\"font-family:arial\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">New Delhi, Nov 22 (IANS)&nbsp;Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar has revealed that due to an upset stomach he had to once play with tissues inside his underwear!<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe incident happened during the Super Sixes phase of the 2003 ICC World Cup when India were taking on Sri Lanka March 10 at the Wanderers in Johannesburg.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Here I am a bit embarrassed to reveal a very personal secret relating to the Sri Lanka match. On the eve of the match I had a bad stomach and was feeling dehydrated. This happened because I had not yet fully recovered from the cramp I had suffered while playing Pakistan and as a result had had a lot of isotonic drinks,&quot; Tendulkar writes in his autobiography &#39;Playing It My Way&#39; which was released earlier this month.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nJust nine days previously, Tendulkar had played a match-winning knock of 98 against Pakistan for which he was named man of the match at Centurion.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I also added a teaspoon of salt to the energy drinks, thinking it would help the recovery, and that caused a tummy upset. In fact, the situation was so bad that I had to bat with tissues inside my underwear. I even had to go back to the dressing room during one of the drinks breaks and was feeling extremely uncomfortable in the middle.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDespite the issues, Tendulkar went on to score a patient 97 off 120 balls, the highest score of the match, which helped India win the contest by a massive 183 runs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I somehow scored 97, but batting with stomach cramps wasn&#39;t a pleasant experience. I was pushing myself to the limits of endurance and in the end I was glad that the effort paid off,&quot; Tendulkar added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
