<p>Tendulkar took to Twitter after an incident in the on-going Indian Premier League where Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Vijay Shankar was accidentally hit on the helmet by KXIP's Nicholas Pooran while taking a quick single. Shankar was saved from a grave injury by the grille on the protective gear.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said: "The game has become faster but is it getting safer? Recently we witnessed an incident which could've been nasty. Be it a spinner or pacer, wearing a HELMET should be MANDATORY for batsmen at professional levels. Request @icc to take this up on priority".</p>
