Society carried by superhero like Tendulkar, say (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

batsman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tendulkar say' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'society carried by superhero' is the wordplay.
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'carried by' is an insertion indicator.
'superhero' becomes 'batman' (I have seen 'Comic superhero ' mean 'batman' so perhaps 'superhero' could also mean 'batman').
's' placed into 'batman' is 'BATSMAN'.

'like' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for batsman that I've seen before include "one of two on the field" , "Grace, for example" , "One at the crease" , "He's either in or he's out!" , "Cricketer at the crease" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
