Sachin Tendulkar's remarkable cricketing career, spanning over two decades, is a shining example of excellence and dedication. With a plethora of records and accolades to his name, he has firmly established himself as a cricketing legend. Moreover, Tendulkar's conduct on and off the field has earned him widespread admiration and respect from not only cricket enthusiasts but also from other players all over the world.

As one can expect, his respect among Mumbai Indians' rising stars is just as palpable, as evidenced by a hilarious incident that unfurled during the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Sachin Tendulkar, who announced his retirement from all forms of the game in 2013, continues to mentor the Mumbai Indians team in IPL. The cricketer frequently attends team camps and dressing room meetings in a bid to boost the players' morale ahead of their crucial games.

Similarly, Tendulkar once attended the Mumbai Indians dressing room for a team meeting during the 2021 IPL season. Ishan Kishan, one of the younger members of the line-up, soon made his way to the dressing room casually while being unaware of Tendulkar's nearby presence.

As soon as Kishan took notice of the cricketing legend at the other corner, he instantly took off his glasses, adjusted his hair and proceeded to greet his senior with "Good afternoon, sir". Kishan's sudden change of demeanour incited a huge laugh riot among other members, particularly from Mumbai Indians veteran Kieron Pollard.

So far, the Jharkhand-based player has turned up for the Indian team in two Tests, 25 ODIs and 29 T20I matches.
