Sachin Tendulkar is considered a god in India. And so, wherever he goes, his fans do something that pleases him. In that series, the Trident Hotel in Mumbai did something that pleased the Gods of Indian cricket. Tendulkar checked into the hotel ahead of the IPL as he is part of the Mumbai Indians support staff, where he also serves as a mentor. As soon as he checked in, he got a pleasant surprise. There was a complete timeline of his cricketing career, starting from 1988 when he made his debut in first-class cricket, then till his entry into Team India. He also covered many personal milestones of Sachin like his marriage to Anjali in 1995. You can watch the video.
Mumbai Indians are gearing up for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) starting from March 26. The Rohit Sharma-led side will begin their campaign against Delhi Capitals at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday. The players are leaving no stone unturned to prepare for the league and are sweating it out in the nets under the supervision of head coach Mahela Jayawardene.
The franchise has set up a bio-secure facility in Mumbai for players and their family members, called Mi Arena. On Thursday, former captain and team icon Sachin Tendulkar visited the facility. The presence of the Master Blaster will surely boost the confidence level of the youngsters, especially the new faces who were included in the team this year.
MI will enter the competition in search of their sixth title win. The team looks excited for the new season but at the same time the unavailability of Suryakumar Yadav is a major concern.
On Wednesday, the captain and coach addressed a virtual presser in which Rohit said that Suryakumar is still in rehab at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru and will join the team after getting clearance from there.
“Surya is currently at NCA, he is recovering, he will be here soon and I can’t tell you his availability right now, whether he will be available for the first game or not but we are trying to get him as soon as possible. Huh. As much as possible, once we get clearance from the NCA,” said Rohit.
