But as the years proceeded, Mumbai Indians have evolved to become one of the strongest team in IPL and also has huge fan base across the country. Sachin and Rohit hold equal credits for this evolution and the fan base of the team. They have been the pillars of the team over these years.

Another coincidence is that scores of Mumbai Indians in both these matches is 182 while Mumbai won the match by 27 runs in case of Rohit but they lost the match by 8 wickets.

They also share the similarity in their 500th and 1000th runs. Both of them reached 500 runs against Chennai Super Kings while Rajasthan Royals were their opponent when they reached the 1000 run mark.

Their opponents when they were duck out for the first time was Kolkata Knight Riders. What’s more mind-blowing is that both lasted only 3 balls and both of them were caught by the wicketkeeper. Their opponents in their second duck are also the same which was Royal Challengers Bangalore.
