Budding left-arm pacer Arjun Tendulkar, who is the son of iconic former batsman Sachin Tendulkar, made his Mumbai senior team debut on Friday in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Haryana, which the hosts lost by eight wickets here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Elite E League group clash played at the suburban BKC ground, Mumbai made 143 after opting to bat first, a target which Haryana overhauled in 17.4 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arjun had an off day with the ball as he returned with rather unimpressive figures of 1\/34 in the three overs that he bowled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He dismissed Haryana opener Chaitya Bishnoi (4) cheaply after he edged a delivery to wicket-keeper Aditya Tare to claim his maiden wicket for the Mumbai senior team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Incidentally, his legendary father’s last Ranji Trophy game was against Haryana back in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arjun didn’t get the chance to face a single delivery when Mumbai batted as the team was bundled out in 19.3 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haryana then rode on one-down Himanshu Rana’s blazing unbeaten 75 off 53 balls to chase down the target with consummate ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 21-year-old Arjun has now qualified for the IPL auctions, as he has made his debut for the Mumbai team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the years, Arjun has been playing age-group tournaments for Mumbai and has also been a part of the team, which plays invitational tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The budding pacer has been 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.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
