It was a perfect gift for Sachin Tendulkar on his wedding anniversary.
“This is the best gift I can get for my anniversary," Sachin said in a video posted by Mumbai Indians on Instagram.
In the dressing room after the victory, when Sachin was asked to speak about the match, the legendary cricketer said: “Green and Surya’s partnership kind of set the platform for us. 182 on this big ground, was a good total. The wicket played differently compared to the last game when we went out to the field, it was as if you were defending 145. That kind of feeling standards were set. I thought it was incredible."
“I have to mention fielding because I thought that was one of the reasons Badonieplayed that shot. And to me, that was the turning point of the game. Yes, Krunal’s wicket was important, but those two wickets in that over forced him to play that shot. A few dot balls and then he goes across the line. To me that was the turning point of the game. So, very well done. So I thought overall, everyone chipped in. Incredible, Madhwal, continue the good work," he added.
