Mumbai Indians won the game by 14 runs in Hyderabad and notched up their third win of this season. After losing two back-to-back games, the five-time IPL champions won three games on the trot.
After the game, Sachin Tendulkar took to his official Twitter handle and came up with a tweet praising the Mumbai Indians' players who delivered the goods.
Initially, he praised Cameron Green for his all-round brilliance. He scored 64 off 40 balls including six fours and two sixes. On the other hand, he registered 1/29 in his quota of 4 overs.
Cameron Green was adjudged the Player of the Match for his all-round efforts. Sachin Tendulkar's heartwarming tweet reads, "A superb all-round performance by Mumbai Indians once again. Cameron Green impressed with both bat & ball. Ishan & Tilak’s batting is as good as it gets! The IPL is getting more interesting every day. Great going boys! And finally, a Tendulkar has an IPL wicket!"
Arjun Tendulkar expressed his delight at the post-match presentation upon getting his maiden IPL wicket. "Obviously it was great getting my first IPL wicket. I just had to focus on what was in hand, the plan and executing it. Our plan was just to bowl wide and get the long boundary into play, making the batsman hit it to the longer side. I love bowling, I am happy to bowl anytime the captain asks me to and just stick to the team plan and give my best," he said.
"We (Sachin Tendulkar and him) talk about cricket, we discuss tactics before the game and he tells me to back what I practise every game. I just focused on my release, bowling good lengths and lines up front. If it swings, it's a bonus, if it doesn't, so be it," Arjun further added.
