India's premier batsman Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed for 12 during a domestic one-day game on Monday in a subdued comeback after a long injury lay-off.Tendulkar, 32, sidelined for six months after surgery on his left elbow in May, was playing in a one-day tri-series in Mohali. After flicking paceman Lakshmipathy Balaji to square leg and then cutting him to point for boundaries, Tendulkar was caught behind off the same bowler after only 15 balls. India have a busy schedule starting with a one-day home series against Sri Lanka from October 25 followed by a one-day series against South Africa and three tests against Sri Lanka. They tour Pakistan in January before hosting England in March-April.
