Arjun Tendulkar a Promising Cricketer

Arjun Tendulkar currently is in the MI (Mumbai Indians) squad but is yet to get a game. The Cricketer has got some express pace that can rattle the opponent. The speedster would be well aware of the fact that his batting can lead into India A setup as India doesn’t have too many fast bowling all-rounders.

If Arjun get s a chance in IPL, then he may be used as a pinch hitter as he has shown his hitting prowess in domestic circuit. It would be interesting to see whether MI gives him a chance as they would be aware of 2022 debacle where they were beaten in all the 3 facets of the game.
