In the ongoing 2018-19 Cooch Behar Trophy, son of iconic cricket player Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun Tendulkar picked up five wickets for Mumbai Under-19s against Delhi U-19s at the famous Feroz Shah Kotla.

The emerging left-arm pace bowler's fierce bowling lead to a middle-order collapse as the hosts lost their seven wickets for 72 runs. Delhi U-19s were bundled up for 346/9.

After getting Vaibhav Kandpal out for 5, Arjun then claimed wickets of Gulzar Sandhu and Hrithik Shokeen in successive balls to be on a hat-trick and then finally get his fifth wicket in form of tail-ender Prashant Bhati.

Earlier, Arjun, playing in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy for Mumbai U-19 team was in top form against Assam.

The 19-year-old, continuing with his impressive form in the under-nineteen one-day domestic tournament took three wickets for 14 runs in seven overs.

Thanks to Arjuna's brilliant bowling, Mumbai won the match by 10 wickets.

As Arjun turns 20 next year, this year would mark as the final year for him in the Under-19 squad. With his impressive form, his inclusion in the team seems difficult to avoid.
