Arjun Tendulkar's First Reaction After Making IPL Debut For Mumbai Indians. WATCH

Arjun Tendulkar, in his debut match, gave away 17 runs in his two overs without taking a wicket as the five-time IPL winners secured a morale-boosting five-wicket win at Wankhede.

Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun Tendulkar received his maiden cap on Sunday from Rohit Sharma as the talented all-rounder made his debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) against Kolkata Knight Riders. Arjun didn't get a chance to bat but opened the bowling attack for M against KKR. In his two overs, Arjun gave away 17 runs without taking a wicket as the five-time IPL winners secured a morale-boosting five-wicket win at Wankhede.

After MI's win over Kolkata, Arjun opened up on his experience about how it felt making his debut after a long wait. Notably, Arjun Tendulkar has been part of MI squad since 2021.

"It was a great moment. It's always special to play for the team I have supported since 2008. It was very nice to get the cap from the captain of MI and the Indian team," he said in a video posted on IPL Twitter.

Later, Arjun's father spoke about the thoughts he had while his son made an emotional debut for Mumbai Indians.

"This was a new experience for me because till now I have not actually gone and watched him play. I just wanted him to have the freedom to go out and express himself and do whatever he wanted to. And today also, I sat in the dressing room because I didn't want to let him move away from his plans and start looking at the mega screen here and suddenly realise that I'm watching him. I was inside. It is a different feeling because 2008 was the first season for me and 16 years down the line, he plays for the same team. Not bad," said Sachin.
