Twittersphere Came Down Hard at BCCI's Twitter Handler After Promoting Arjun Tendulkar
Updated - 26 Jun 2018, 02:02 PM
Microblogging website Twitter users could not digest the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) handler promoting young all-rounder Arjun Tendulkar.
The administrator of the BCCI handle had shared a picture of Arjun with the current head coach of senior team Ravi Shastri.
In fact, Ravi Shastri had also shared the same post with Arjun on June 25 (Monday).
In addition, Shastri had came up with this post, “Good to see the chip of the old block going through the right paces – @sachin_rt”.
Twitter users came down hard on BCCI.
However, when the BCCI’s official Twitter account shared the same post, it left the people agitated. The Twitter users started taking a dig at the cash-rich Indian board for being involved in petty politics.
Meanwhile, Arjun was recently named in the Under-19 Indian team for the tour of Sri Lanka. This is the first time that Junior Tendulkar has made the cut into the team.
The left-arm pacer is a part of the two four-day games against the Lanka A side.
However, Arjun could not break into the limited-overs squad of the Under-19 team. Arjun will be guided by the assistant coach of the team WV Raman in the absence of chief coach Rahul Dravid, who is currently with the India A side.
Meanwhile, it is not fair to compare Arjun with his father Sachin Tendulkar. However, the comparison will be palpable in the times to come.
But, there is a lot of pressure to perform on the shoulders of the young boy, as he will be always compared to his father in one way or an another.
Consequently, it will be a golden opportunity for Arjun Tendulkar to perform at the highest level.
Also, here is a post from BCCI:

Nepotism rearing its head in Indian cricket, again! Why should only Arjun gets access to Indian team for nets? Why not other juniors? Just because he has a famous surname ? @sachin_rt

Another Rahul Gandhi in Indian cricket. So called “Dynasty”

Why is he bowling to Indian cricketers in the nets. Why this preferential treatment. He was selected only for U-19 4 day matches because he can be shielded with few overs if unsuccessful but in One dayers wouldn't be possible to shield him if was hit for runs. Great strategy.
