It was on this day eight years ago, when Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar donned Mumbai Indians jersey for the final time. Interestingly, this match was also the last appearance for Rahul Dravid for Rajasthan Royals. Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, Tendulkar played the Champions League T20 final against Rajasthan Royals. Tendulkar bowed out on a high as Mumbai Indians won the title after defeating the Royals by 33 runs in the summit clash.
Batting first, Mumbai Indians posted a total of 202/6 in the allotted 20 overs and it was Dwayne Smith who top-scored for the side, playing a knock of 44 runs.
Tendulkar managed to score just 15 runs while Glenn Maxwell scored a quick-fire 37 off just 14 balls with the help of 4 fours and 2 sixes.
