The tennis elbow kept Tendulkar out of the game for a while
India went to England in 2004 to defend the Champions Trophy crown they had jointly won in Sri Lanka in 2002. There were question marks on whether Sachin Tendulkar would be fit in time for the competition as he was still looking to recover fully from a tennis elbow that had stunted his progress in the game.

As it turned out, he could not do so and India suffered as a result of that, bowing out of the competition in the opening round after losing a must-win clash against Pakistan at Edgbaston.
Post his retirement, Tendulkar wrote in his autobiography that this phase of his career, when he suffered from the tennis elbow, even led to him contemplating retirement from the game.
