The cricket legend revealed that he had not seen his son playing and seeing him play from the dressing room was a very new experience for him.
"This was a new experience for me because till now I have not actually gone and watched him play. I just wanted him to have the freedom to go out and express himself and do whatever he wanted to," Sachin added.
Being a protective father, Sachin sat in the dressing room so that Arjun would not get nervous seeing his father on the big screen.

Arjun also shared his experience debuting for MI.
"It was a great moment, It is always special to play for the team I have supported since 2008, It was nice to get the cap from the captain of MI and the team," Arjun said.
Playing as a pacer in Mumbai's side, Arjun bowled two overs in the match against KKR. He did not get any wickets and gave 17 runs with an economy of 8.50 against KKR.
