For Indian cricket lovers, April 24 is a day of celebration as the great Sachin Tendulkar marks his birthday. In addition to being regarded as a great in international cricket, the Indian batter was a legendary member of the Mumbai Indians for six years before quitting all forms of cricket.
The Mumbai Indians team celebrated the Master Blaster’s 52nd birthday on Thursday by asking the players about some of the highlights of his career, such as his 1989 debut, his 2010 double-century in ODIs against South Africa, and the historic desert storm innings in Sharjah during the Coca-Cola Cup. The great batter was then wished by the Paltan for his previous contributions to the team.
Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Ashwani Kumar, Vignesh Puthur, Robin Minz, Raj Bawa, and Satyanarayan Raju were among the MI players featured in the video. This clip also featured the MI team’s coaching staff, including fielding coach Carl Hopkins, bowling coach Lasith Malinga, batting coach Kieron Pollard, and head coach Mahela Jayawardene.

The season of the Mumbai Indians thus far
The franchise had a difficult start in the first five games, but in the last few, they appear to have finally found their groove. With five victories and four defeats in their nine games, MI is now fourth in the standings and has won four straight games.
Their next game is scheduled for Sunday, April 27 at Wankhede Stadium against the Lucknow Super Giants. In addition to hoping to extend their incredible winning run, they will have a chance to make amends against the Super Giants, who beat them in the previous game.
