Arjun Tendulkar, son of Sachin Tendulkar, went wicketless in his first IPL game before finally getting one in his second, a nail-biter against SunRisers Hyderabad in the final over.
Fans all across the world tuned in to watch Arjun Tendulkar make his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut for the Mumbai Indians against the Kolkata Knight Riders. In his first match, Arjun, son of Sachin Tendulkar, failed to take a wicket, but in his second, against SunRisers Hyderabad, he did so in a nail-biting final over. Arjun got his first wicket on the fifth ball of the last over when he had Bhuvneshwar Kumar caught by Rohit Sharma at covers with SRH needing 20 runs. Before then, Arjun appeared to be on track and bowled a pair of effective yorkers that held the SRH hitters scorelessly.
Rohit Sharma was pleased after Arjun took his first wicket for MI, and the team went on to win by 14 runs.
