NEW DELHI: After claiming his maiden IPL wicket on Tuesday, Arjun Tendulkar, the son of batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar, received a compliment from legendary Sunil Gavaskar.
Gavaskar, who played 125 Tests and 108 ODIs, Gavaskar said: “Everybody talks about the amazing talent Sachin Tendulkar had at the start of his career. But it was his temperament that was absolutely amazing, and Arjun seems to have inherited that. He seems to be a shrewd thinker as well. It’s always a good sign when a youngster is bowling the final over for the team and delivering.”

With their 14-run win over SRH in the latter’s backyard in their latest IPL 2023 encounter, Mumbai Indians have sent a strong message to the rest of the teams that the five-time champions are finding their mojo back.
MI have now won three games on the trot in IPL 2023 and a big reason for their swift turnaround is the way their youngsters such as Cameron Green, Tilak Varma and Arjun have performed.
