Sachin Tendulkar consulted British doctor Andrew Wallace, who operated upon his elbow in London in May this year, in Delhi and left for his home in Mumbai last night.

The batting maestro was on just a few hours' visit to the capital to get a routine examination done by the orthopedic surgeon, who is on a short visit to the country, Board of Control for Cricket in India sources said on Sunday.

Tendulkar, who had come here immediately after playing in the seventh and final one-dayer in Vadodara on Saturday, also had his elbow examined by team physio John Gloster while batting during the match.

The Mumbai player was sidelined for close to six months after undergoing the surgery to treat a tennis elbow injury and has been prescribed a rehabilitation programme to strengthen the muscles in his left arm.

He returned to international cricket in style with a 93-run knock in the opening one-dayer against Sri Lanka in Nagpur. He last played in the series against Pakistan at home in April this year.
