On Sunday, Arjun Tendulkar became the first son to play for the same Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise that his father, Sachin Tendulkar, had previously represented.
Arjun made his IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Arjun started the bowling and gave up five runs in his first over. He made a strong lbw appeal against Jagadeesan but was denied by the umpire because the ball appeared to be going over the stumps.
In his second over, KKR's Venkatesh Iyer drove him off the backfoot for a boundary, then smacked the next delivery for a slightly mis-hit six over wide long-on.
Arjun Tendulkar, 23, has spent the last two years with the Mumbai Indians. He was chosen in the 2021 auction but had to withdraw due to an injury. He was also selected in the 2022 auction, but he did not play a single match last year.
On Sunday, he got his chance in the Mumbai Indians dugout alongside his father Sachin.
Arjun, who has played age-group cricket for Mumbai and made his T20 debut in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in 2020-21, switched alliances earlier this year and will make his Ranji Trophy debut for them against Rajasthan in an Elite Division match at Porvorim in December 2022.
