After Mumbai Indians‘ defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Sachin Tendulkar and Hardik Pandya delivered motivational speeches to lift the spirits of the team.
Sachin Tendulkar said
Sachin Tendulkar, the mentor of Mumbai Indians, shared his wisdom with the team, highlighting their strong performance despite falling short by 31 runs in the chase of 278 runs. Tendulkar said, “In the second half, in spite of scoring 277, 10 overs down the line nobody knew who was a clear winner. The game was very much open. The target was very much achievable. That’s a clear-cut sign that we’ve batted really well. So let’s stick together. Tighter. There are going to be tougher moments. We will stick together as a group and pull it through.”
Hardik Pandya’s motivational words
Following Tendulkar’s speech, MI captain Hardik Pandya praised the bowlers for their resilience, despite facing a tough challenge.
Pandya said, “Toughest soldiers get the toughest test. And we are the toughest team in the competition. Anyone who would have come even close to where we reached, as a batting group or as just overall Mumbai Indians, are us. Something I am really proud of is our bowlers. Even when the day was tough, I didn’t see no one running away. Everyone wanted the ball and that’s a good sign. So let’s make sure that we help each other throughout whatever happens. Worst. Bad. Good. We will manage it together.”
Despite the loss, Mumbai Indians showed fighting spirit, with Tilak Varma‘s quick half-century and a strong batting performance overall. The team will look to bounce back in the upcoming matches with the support and motivation from their mentors and captain.
