NEW DELHI: There can't be an uniform structure for workload control all over the Indian Premier League as each and every participant will have different set of necessities, the mythical Sachin Tendulkar said on Monday.
There had been a lot of discussions about how the World Cup-bound players wish to effectively set up their workload all over a not easy tournament like the IPL, and the maestro has his personal tackle it.
"Preparation before the World Cup is different for each player and so their workload management will also be different," Tendulkar instructed PTI all over an unique interaction.
Tendulkar agreed with skipper Virat Kohli who just lately said that it's up to the players to grasp the type of load they're taking in addition to the shape they're in.
"To me, momentum is important. Every individual should be smart enough to assess if he needs to take a break or he needs to play games to stay in the thick of things. So the responsibility is on the individual to take a call," said the world's best run-getter in Tests and One-day Internationals.
He then gave an example of the way workload control might be different for different players.
"As a pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah's workload will be very different from a pure batsman like Virat Kohli and a wicket-keeper batsman like Mahendra Singh Dhoni. All these players have a lot of experience and they will certainly make the right call," said Tendulkar, who is a mentor with IPL's most well liked franchise Mumbai Indians.
Tendulkar echoed what Kohli had said a couple of days earlier all over a media interaction in Bengaluru.
"If I'm able to play 10, 12 or 15 games, it doesn't necessarily mean that the other guy can only play that many. My body might demand I play a certain number of games and I need to be smart about that and rest," the Indian skipper had said.
"Someone else's body might be more capable than mine or less, that is a very individual thing. And everyone wants to play the World Cup, so people will be smart about it because you don't want to miss out on such a big event."
Kohli had said that it's up to person players to take care of the issue to stay their frame fit and be in contention for a place within the World Cup-bound squad.
"From a responsibility point of view, all the Indian players will have the responsibility during the IPL to keep a watch on their fitness and their workloads," he said.
"And to continue the frame of mind we have created in the Indian team - strive towards excellence and improve every day. Each player will take this tournament as an opportunity to go to the World Cup in a good frame of mind," he said.
