Cricket runs in the blood of the Tendulkar family, and the latest news from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 has proved it yet again. Arjun Tendulkar, son of the legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, has taken his first IPL wicket. The news has gone viral, and Sachin Tendulkar himself has reacted to it on social media.
Arjun Tendulkar’s Journey
Arjun Tendulkar, a left-arm fast bowler, was bought by the Mumbai Indians team in the IPL 2023 auction for a base price of Rs 20 lakh. He made his debut against the Rajasthan Royals and bowled his first over in the IPL. In his second over, he took the wicket of RR batsman Manan Vohra, which was his first wicket in the tournament.
Arjun has been in the spotlight for some time now, and his performance in the domestic circuit has been impressive. He has also represented India U-19 in the past. However, his selection in the IPL was not without controversy, and many questioned whether he was selected because of his father’s influence.

Sachin Tendulkar is known for his modesty and grace, and his reaction to his son’s achievement was no different. He took to Twitter to congratulate his son and express his pride in his achievement. He wrote, “We are thrilled and proud of Arjun’s achievement. His hard work, dedication, and perseverance have paid off. Congratulations and keep striving towards your goals.”
