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.
"I sat in the dressing room because I did not want to let him move away from his plans and start looking at the mega screen here and suddenly realise that I was watching there, therefore I was inside," he said.
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.
