Arjun Tendulkar, son of the great Sachin Tendulkar, made his senior debut for the Mumbai T20 team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on Friday. Mumbai are up against Haryana at the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai in a Group E clash. Arjun has already played for India U-19 and Mumbai U-19 teams. Unlike, his father, Arjun is a left-arm pacer, and handy middle-order batsman.
The 21-year-old Arjun now qualifies for the IPL auctions, as he has made his debut for the Mumbai team. The youngster, earlier, this year travelled to the UAE as a net bowler with defending champions Mumbai Indians. Tendulkar junior was added to the Mumbai squad, along with another pacer Krutik Hanagavadi, by the Salil Ankola-led selection committee, after the BCCI permitted a total of 22 players to be selected. The upcoming pacer has seen bowling to the Indian national team in the nets and also represented the India U-19 team, when it toured Sri Lanka in 2018.
