For Sachin Tendulkar and not for others, the question is why Arjun Tendulkar is not being picked by Mumbai Indians. Arjun Tendulkar is a left-arm fast bowler and a decent batting all-rounder.
Arjun Tendulkar was bought for Rs 30 lakh in the IPL series. But not introduced yet. The question of Arjun Tendulkar was raised a lot in the last IPL series. Mumbai Indians bowling coach Shane Bond then said, “Arjun is not yet ready for the top level and he needs to work a little harder in certain areas.
You can make it into the team, but getting selected in the playing eleven is a different matter. Arjun still needs to improve his batting and fielding. It is right that everyone should be given a chance in at least one competition. But a player has to earn his spot. Arjun still needs some improvement in his cricketing skills. He will correct this soon and be included in the team.
But this time coach Mark Boucher says, “Arjun Tendulkar has come back from injury. So let’s rate him. If he qualifies for selection, that’s fine. Keeping in mind the future of the team, some places can be reserved for young players. It’s a great series of young players and the IPL is a great platform to showcase their talent.” So we can expect Arjun Tendulkar to play at least a couple of matches this time.
Arjun Tendulkar has so far played in 7 first-class matches, 7 List A matches and 9 T20Is. Arjun has taken 32 wickets and 268 runs in all formats. In any case, it will be difficult for Arjun to get off without Sachin’s ‘green signal’. There is reason to believe that Sachin will allow Arjun to die only if he prepares as a complete player.
