What better than to bowl to some of the best batsmen in the world just before taking the first big step in the game? Well, Arjun Tendulkar has always been blessed with the exposure that very few youngsters of his age get.

Son of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun has already plied his trade for some representative clubs in India and England.

The youngster trained at the indoor academy at Lord’s and had bowled to Indian and English teams in the nets in the past. During last year’s Women’s World Cup in England, he had bowled to the women players ahead of the final as well.

And well, the 18-year old was again seen showing his skillset to some of the best batsmen in the world. He recently got captured bowling to the Indian team ahead of their two-match T20I series against Ireland.

Recently, he was named in the India U-19 cricket team for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. He got picked for the four-day matches that India will play against the Island nation.

Arjun, however, could not find a place in the one-day squad which will play five matches against Sri Lanka.

India will travel to Sri Lanka next month (July) for the series. Delhi’s Anuj Rawat will lead the side. On the other hand, Aryan Juyal will lead the team in one-day games.

Arjun has been grabbing the headlines for quite some time now.

Earlier this year, he made headlines after his brilliant debut in the Spirit of Cricket Global Challenge in Australia. Playing for Cricketer’s Club of India (CCI) against Hong Kong Cricket Club (HKC) in a T20 match, he delivered an impressive all-round show.

Arjun scored 48 off 27 balls before picking up four wickets in four overs.
