"Haven't been home for 9 years..." - Young MI player gets emotional!

The Mumbai Indians, one of the strongest teams in the IPL, have already lost their chance to advance to the play - offs in the current series.

The Mumbai team, which had lost the first 8 matches in a row, had a number of poor performances.

Following on their 9th league match against Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai recorded their first win in the 15th IPL.

First win for Mumbai Indians

Rajasthan, who played first in the match, were 158 for six wickets. Mumbai then chased down the target, reaching the target in the last over and winning by 5 wickets. Despite winning the next 5 matches and not advancing to the play-off round, it seems likely that the Mumbai team will change the other team's play-off round chances.

Debutant young player

In this situation, one of the young players who made his debut in the Mumbai Indians team got emotional. In the match against Rajasthan, Kumar Kartikeya, who was a replacement in the Mumbai team, was given a chance. This is Kartikeya's first match in the IPL.

Advice from Sachin

The spinner, who bowled 4 overs, conceded just 19 runs and also took the wicket of Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson. The focus of many was back on Kartikeya's side who had taken the key wicket. Speaking after the match, Karthikeyan said, "I was a little nervous when I knew I was going to play. But I planned for all the batsmen overnight. I tried to throw the ball at Sanju Samson on his feet."

9 years to go home ..

Karthikeyan continued, I haven't been home for 9 years. I'd decided to return home only when I achieve something in life. My mom and dad called me frequently, but I was committed. Now finally I'll return home after the IPL."
