Arjun Tendulkar's debut with Mumbai Indians in the lucrative IPL 2023 turned out to be one of the most memorable moments in his career. Arjun Tendulkar, the illustrious Sachin Tendulkar's son, had a mixed outing in IPL 2023 season, taking three wickets in four games but also giving up 92 runs. The 23-year-old pacer is presently representing South Zone in the Deodhar Trophy 2023. Arjun is hustling off the pitch in addition to improving his fitness, as shown in his Instagram story.
Arjun posted a shirtless mirror photo on social media in which he can be seen showing off his six-pack abs. Star batter Virat Kohli initiated the practice of keeping chiseled in the Indian cricket team, and many other players like KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, and now even Arjun have followed the footsteps of the former captain.
Arjun was selected by the BCCI earlier in June for a 20-day camp at Bengaluru's National Cricket Academy (NCA). Arjun, who plays for Goa in first-class cricket and made his IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians in the last season, was asked to attend the camp, which started in August.
BCCI source said "Arjun already has a Ranji Trophy century. A left-arm pacer who bowls between early and mid-130 kmph and bats left-handed. He brings in variety."
"It is not just about numbers but also about potential. He is 23 and has time to develop is what this (senior selection) committee thinks. Else, they wouldn't have picked him. Yes, he only has 12 wickets from seven first-class games but he has shown a certain degree of ability and coaches will work on that,"
The young Tendulkar has been selected for the South Zone of the Deodhar Trophy, which is captained by batter Mayank Agarwal. He is a member of the South zone pace attack including V Koushik and the Vidwath Kaverappa and Vyshak Vijaykumar new ball pair from Karnataka.
With eight wickets from seven games, Arjun was the joint-highest wicket-taker for the Goa squad.
