IPL 2021 Auction: Twitter Reacts After Arjun Tendulkar Bags His Maiden IPL Contract

Seven years after Sachin Tendulkar last represented Mumbai Indians, his son Arjun will be donning the blue and gold for the most successful franchise in the history of the competition after the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians claimed the services of a fast-bowling all-rounder in the IPL 2021 Auction.

Arjun Tendulkar was the last player that went under the hammer in the IPL 2021 Auction and he went to the Mumbai Indians at his base price of Rs 20 Lakh.

The left-arm medium fast-bowling all-rounder, who represented Mumbai in the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, raised his stake after he hammered a 31-ball 77 besides claiming 3/41 for MIG Cricket Club in the 73rd Police Invitation Shield Tournament earlier this month.

Arjun Tendulkar made his U-19 debut for India in the Youth Test series against Sri Lanka back in 2018. He has also represented U-19, U-16, and U-14 teams in the past.

During the 2017-18 Cooch Behar Trophy, Arjun claimed 19 wickets in 5 matches which included two five-wicket hauls.

Arjun Tendulkar goes to Mumbai Indians for 20 lakh.
His father last played for MI in 2013 and hit a six off the last ball he faced in the IPL#IPLAuction2021

Arjun Tendulkar to MI. Unsurprising. He has had half-decent outings in whatever little cricket he’s played.

Will be interesting if he can make that bigger step like others have done in IPL.

THAT name will always be heavy with expectations (and trolling as is norm nowadays).

All the best to Arjun Tendulkar!

Will always get compared to his dad but he needs to work extremely hard if he wants to play for Mumbai Indians.

Let's see what happens. ?

“He was the last name to pop up at the 2021 IPL Auction & was snapped up at base price. That’s how it all started.”
Prepare to hear that narrative being played out many times over the next decade or more.
The Arjun Tendulkar era might just have got underway at #IPLAuction2021
