With this Sachin and Arjun became the first father-son duo to play in IPL and they shared their feeling midway through the game that has now been shared by the IPL Twitter account.
In the video, Arjun talking about his debut said, “It was a great moment. It’s always special to play for the team I have supported since 2008. It was very nice to get the cap from the captain of MI and the Indian team.”
Sachin was more emotional as he expressed his feelings about seeing his son play for the same franchise he played for in IPL.
“This was a new experience for me because till now I have not actually gone and watched him play. I just wanted him to have the freedom to go out and express himself and do whatever he wanted to. And today also, I sat in the dressing room because I didn’t want to let him move away from his plans and start looking at the mega screen here and suddenly realise that I’m watching him. I was inside. It is a different feeling because 2008 was the first season for me and 16 years down the line, he plays for the same team. Not bad,” Sachin said.
