After Tendulkar posted the video, it immediately went viral with over 1.7 lakh views till date. Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun is also part of the Mumbai Indians squad for IPL 2022.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma said playing the league matches of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 in Mumbai is not a full-on advantage for the five-time champions. League matches of IPL 2022 are being played at the Wankhede Stadium, Barbourne Stadium in Mumbai, Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai and MCA International Stadium in Pune.

“Speaking of home advantage, I believe, except me and Surya, there are not many guys from Mumbai. Like I said before, it’s a relatively new team not many of these guys have played in the climatic conditions of the city of Mumbai. They must have played a few games, but not a lot of games. So, I personally don’t believe it’s a full-on advantage. Yes, we have been practicing here in Mumbai for a very long time now. But not a lot of these guys have not played a lot of games,” said Rohit Sharma.

“So yes, being in Mumbai, being a home team, being a Mumbai franchisee that’s an addition. But if I really want to talk about the skills of having been used in these types of conditions, that has not been done yet. Because I don’t totally believe in this advantage. If the IPL would have happened last year in Mumbai. Yes, it would be an advantage as a lot of players from last year had played in Mumbai,” he added.
