Sachin Tendulkar has been ruled out of the fourth ODI between India and Sri Lanka at Vishakhapatnam on Saturday with a stiff back.

After winning the third ODI in Goa by five wickets on Wednesday, India levelled the four-match series 1-1.

The first ODI in Kolkata was abandoned due to rain.

Both the competing teams arrived in the city on Thursday for the series-deciding match.
