Sachin Tendulkar said Mumbai Indians’ 81-run win over Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2023 Eliminator was the best gift for his wedding anniversary
Sachin Tendulkar was all praise for Mumbai Indians after their 81-run win over Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 Eliminator at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday.
Cameron Green (41) and Suryakumar Yadav (33) shared a 66-run stand to help five-time champions Mumbai Indians post 182-8 as Akash Madhwal took just enough to dismiss LSG for 101. Took five wickets by giving runs.
It was a perfect gift for Sachin Tendulkar on his wedding anniversary.
“This is the best gift for my anniversary,” Sachin said in a video posted on Instagram by Mumbai Indians.
When Sachin was asked to speak about the match in the dressing room after the win, the legendary cricketer said, ‘Green and Surya’s partnership set the stage for us. 182 on this big ground was a decent total. The wicket played differently compared to the last game when we went out on the field, it felt like you were defending 145. I thought it was incredible.”
“I have to mention the fielding because I thought that was one of the reasons Badonie played that shot. And for me, that was the turning point of the game. Yes, Krunal’s wicket was crucial, but those two wickets in that over Forced him to play that shot. Few dot balls and then he went across the line. For me that was the turning point of the game. So, well done. So I thought overall, everyone contributed. Incredible, Madhwal, keep up the good work.”
