Despite falling short in their mammoth run chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians can take heart from their fighting spirit. Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar was quick to lift their morale.
In a video posted by MI, Tendulkar addresses the players in the dressing room after their loss. But rather than dwelling on the result, he focused on the positives.
The legendary batsman praised the team’s never-say-die attitude as they pushed SRH until the end.
Chasing 278, MI came agonizingly close through quickfire knocks from Rohit, Brevis and Pollard.
Tendulkar said such gritty performances will help MI in the future. “Do not look at the result. See how you dominated different game phases,” he told them.
His motivating words were no doubt music to the ears of the MI squad. With their talisman backing them unconditionally, the 5-time champions will be spurred to give their all in the coming matches.
Under Tendulkar’s guidance, MI fans know this team has the spirit and skill to bounce back strongly from setbacks very soon!
