Racism row will not mar Australia's tour: Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar is confident that the racism row that marred India's tour to Australia in January, will not cast a shadow on next month's test series, against the world's top-ranked team. Tendulkar, who returns from his latest injury layoff in a premier domestic game next week, played down talk that the tourists were a weak unit. Australia arrives this month in India ahead for the four-match series which begins on October 9 with the first test in Bengaluru.
