"People who are talking about me not enjoying my batting better get it right. It's a wrong perception. Those who understand the game wouldn't be talking about it," Tendulkar said with a rare bluntness after his three-wicket haul and an unbeaten 82 with the bat against Bangladesh.

Tendulkar's batting has always caught the eye but he has been more in news in this tournament because of his six wickets and leg-spin bowling.

"Harbhajan Singh has been goading me to be more regular with leg-spins in the nets than the seam-up bowling I do. I was not bowling leg-spin in the nets because whenever I practiced it there, I never used to land it right in match situations!

"But yes, lately I have begun to practice regularly my leg-spin in the nets," he said.
