Sachin is currently involved in the IPL 2018 with Mumbai Indians as the team icon.
The Master Blaster was a part of as many as 78 matches in the IPL, where he amassed 2,334 runs at an average of 34.83 and a strike rate of 119.81. Tendulkar won the Orange Cap in the 2010 edition of the tournament in which he scored 618 runs in 15 appearances.
Defending champions Mumbai Indians have had a nightmarish start to the season, losing all three of the match they have played so far. They are the only team in IPL 2018 to have not scored a point.
In their last match, Mumbai were shot down by Englishman Jason Roy's brilliant 91 not out. Delhi Daredevils beat Mumbai in a last-ball thriller to register their first win of the 2018 season.
