Tendulkar left numb by Mumbai attacks

Mumbai: India batting stalwart Sachin Tendulkar said images of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai last week had "left him numb and saddened."

India beat England in the day-night fifth One-Dayer in Cuttack on Wednesday (November 26) when terrorists went on a three-day rampage in Mumbai, killing 183 people.

"Right after the match, we got to know of the attack and since then I have been disturbed," the record-breaking batsman told a news channel.

"I have been tracking the horrific images of mayhem on television. It saddened me to see my countrymen being targetted," Mumbai's favourite son and Test cricket's highest run-getter and century maker added.

"I couldn't sleep all this time. I am numb, the images keep playing in my head. This was just not an attack on Mumbai, it is an attack on India."

The last two One-Day matches were cancelled because of security concerns as the tourists returned home but appear set to return for the two-test series starting on December 11.
