My kids wanted me to get the orange cap: Sachin

In-form Mumbai Indian Skipper Sachin Tendulkar has said that he feel happy after getting Orange Cap. He also said that his kids wanted him to hold the Orange cap in this season.

IPL awards an Orange cap to the highest run-getter at any stage of the tournament. There was a tough competition between Jacques Kallis and Sachin Tendulkar. Kallis has scored 310 runs. Sachin scored 11 runs in the games against the Kings XI Punjab which took him to total of 314 runs in the tournament so far.

“It has been good, my kids obviously wanted to get this cap, but it doesn’t come so easily - you have got to work hard for it; I am glad it has come”—he said.

It will definitely be a good competition between Kallis and Tendulkar for the Orange cap as the game progresses.

He also said that he is quite happy to get the full strength squad.

“Last two years we didn't have full strength. We had our main players on the bench, because of injuries. So it’s nice to have full strength.”
