Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar has revealed the name of his favourite allrounder. With no action going on at the moment due to the coronavirus pandemic, the youngster decided to interact with his followers on Instagram.

A number of cricketers have been keeping themselves busy by interacting with the fans on social media platforms and Arjun Tendulkar also decided the same. He held a Question-Answer session with his followers and was asked a number of questions regarding the game.

One of the users asked him to name his favourite allrounder. Many of the users must have been expecting Arjun Tendulkar to name Hardik Pandya but he snubbed the India allrounder and revealed that England star Ben Stokes in his favourite allrounder.

Not Hardik Pandya As Arjun Tendulkar Names His Favourite Allrounder

Well, Ben Stokes is arguably the best allrounder in the world right now. He had a remarkable 2019 during which he helped England win the World Cup for the first time and draw the Ashes. He scored 465 runs with the help of five fifties including one in the final against New Zealand.

The left-handed batsman guided England from a disastrous 68 for four to a tie at 241 with a score of 84 not out in the final before stepping to the crease again to score eight runs in the super over. He then proved his worth in Tests too by helping England draw the Ashes. In the third Ashes Test, he scored a stunning 135 as England registered a miraculous win by chasing down an improbable target of 356. 74 of those runs came for the final-wicket partnership with Jack Leach in which the spinner scored only one run.
