Tendulkar announced his retirement minutes after Mumbai were crowned champions for the first time and Sharma said the IPL Trophy meant a lot to him. &quot;It&#39;s good to see a big smile on his face. It really shows how much this trophy means to him,&quot; Sharma said at the post-match presser. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/rohit27may_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 336px;" /> Ricky Ponting, Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar. Pic/ Suresh K.K. &quot;We actually didn&#39;t get much time to talk about it as we were running all around in celebration immediately after the last ball. He also has been very busy with the celebration.&quot;u00a0 Sharma said they had an idea what was coming after Tendulkar had the left-wrist injury but his involvement in the dressing room made up for his absence on the field. &quot;It was disappointing. We knew when he missed a game, we had an idea about it that he would not be fit to play. We had an idea about it. &quot;But his presence in the dressing room was a huge boost. It gives a confidence to lot of young players. Whenever he was needed, he was there. I am really happy what we did today.&quot; &quot;It was unfortunate he missed last few games because of injury. But you can&#39;t really do much when you&#39;re injured. But he was completely involved keeping a close eye along with Anil Kumble, Ricky Ponting and John Wright. He spoke to each individual if he felt there was a need.&quot; The Mumbai Indians opener retired hurt for 38 in their May 13 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad which became the iconic batsman&#39;s last innings as he went on to miss five matches for his franchise. Asked whether Tendulkar would play the Champions League T20, Sharma sounded noncommittal. &quot;It&#39;s probably four months now. I really don&#39;t know what&#39;s going to happen them.&quot;u00a0

A wrist injury might have kept Sachin Tendulkar out of the on-field action for most part of his swan-song IPL but the senior batsman had a huge role in taking Mumbai Indians to their maiden title triumph, skipper Rohit Sharma said.
