“When Nobody Is There…”: Sachin Tendulkar’s Emotional Moment With Rohit Sharma After MI’s Win

In the world of cricket, moments of emotion often capture hearts, and one such moment recently unfolded after Mumbai Indians’ victory over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2025. After a dominant performance, Mumbai Indians secured an impressive eight-wicket win against KKR, but it was the emotional exchange between Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma that truly stole the spotlight.

Mumbai Indians’ Big Win to Start IPL 2025

As the match took place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians showcased a brilliant performance, marking their first win of the season. Historically, Mumbai has always been a slow starter in the IPL, but this time, they turned the tide early. After restricting KKR to just 116 runs, MI chased down the target with ease, completing the task in just 12.5 overs.

“This is the start we’ve been waiting for. We’re eager to build on this momentum,” said Rohit Sharma after the match.

Ashwani Kumar’s Brilliant Debut

While Mumbai’s victory was a team effort, it was debutant Ashwani Kumar who stood out with an outstanding performance. The left-arm pacer made an immediate impact, picking up four wickets and limiting KKR to a modest total. His exceptional bowling set the tone for the rest of the match, and Mumbai’s chase was made even more comfortable thanks to his efforts.

• Kumar’s Impact: His performance not only won Mumbai the game but also made it clear that he is a talent to watch in the future. His ability to swing the ball and outsmart the opposition made him a standout player of the match.

“I never thought I’d make such an impact in my first game. It feels great to contribute to the team’s victory,” Ashwani remarked after the game.

The Emotional Moment: Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma

However, amid the celebrations, it was a simple but deeply emotional moment between Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma that melted the hearts of fans. Sachin, as one of Mumbai Indians’ mentors, shared a heartfelt chat with Rohit, who has long been the face of the team. In a candid moment captured by cameras, the two legends shared words of wisdom, with Sachin offering words of encouragement and advice to the captain.

“When nobody is there to see, it’s those moments that matter the most,” Sachin Tendulkar said, reflecting on their bond as teammates and mentors.

Mentorship and Legacy

Sachin Tendulkar’s role as a mentor to Mumbai Indians goes beyond just cricketing advice. His presence brings a sense of stability and reassurance to the team, especially for players like Rohit Sharma, who have grown up watching the Master Blaster in action. The bond between the two is not just professional but also personal, built on years of shared experiences and mutual respect.

• Rohit’s Growth: Rohit, under Sachin’s mentorship, has flourished into one of the most successful captains in IPL history. Their shared moments of reflection highlight the importance of leadership, trust, and the guidance Sachin offers off the field.

“Sachin has been like a big brother to me. His guidance has been crucial, and I owe a lot of my growth as a player to his mentorship,” Rohit shared.

Looking Ahead for Mumbai Indians

With this win, Mumbai Indians have set a positive tone for the rest of their IPL 2025 campaign. The team has shown they are ready to perform and rise to the occasion when needed.
