Two giants will be face to face on Tuesday in Wankhede, one of the oldest and most historic stadiums in India. Mumbai Indians, captained by Rohit Sharma, face Royal Challengers Bangalore in which Virat Kohli is. Both these players are counted among the best batsmen of the present time and both of them have a lot of fan following in India. But at this time Kohli's meeting with someone else is in discussion. This is Sachin Tendulkar.
Sachin Tendulkar is the mentor of Mumbai Indians. He has played IPL from Mumbai itself and is now sharing his experience with this team. The two met before the match between Mumbai and Bangalore. Its photo is going viral on social media. Mumbai and Bangalore have clashed in Bangalore this season on April 2 and Bangalore won that match. This time Mumbai would like to take revenge.

Kohli is a fan of Sachin
Kohli and Sachin are seen laughing in this photo. Kohli is keeping his hands on Sachin's shoulders. Kohli is a big fan of Sachin, one of the great batsmen of the world. Kohli has said many times that he dreamed of becoming a cricketer only after seeing Sachin and considers him his role model. He has also played with Sachin in Team India. Both played together in the World Cup-2011 and then Team India won. After this victory, Kohli lifted Sachin on his shoulders.
Kohli is a fan of Sachin and in such a situation he does not leave any chance to meet this person. Sachin has 100 centuries in international cricket. It is said that if someone breaks Sachin's record of 100 international centuries, he will break Kohli's. Anyway, Kohli is second in terms of scoring the most centuries at the international level. He has 75 international centuries to his name.

Big innings are expected from Kohli
Kohli is seen in excellent form this season. So far, he has played a total of 10 matches in IPL-2023 and scored 419 runs at an average of 46.56. Six half-centuries have come out of his bat so far. The Bangalore team will hope that another great innings comes out of Virat's bat at the Wankhede Stadium and he gives victory to his team.
In this meeting also, Kohli might have talked to Sachin about his batting and Sachin might have given him some tips. In such a situation, Sachin's knowledge should not be overshadowed by Mumbai itself.
