In a crucial match between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Arjun Tendulkar, the young pacer, was given the responsibility of bowling the last over.
SRH needed 20 runs off the last over to secure a win but Arjun Tendulkar had other plans. The first ball of the over was bowled outside off which resulted in a dot ball.
The next ball was another wide outside off which Abdul Samad tried to hit for a late cut towards deep, but decided to take a second run which was a poor decision as he was run out.
Arjun Tendulkar bowled exceptionally well in the last over and took his maiden wicket of his IPL career when he dismissed Bhuvneshwar Kumar, caught by Rohit Sharma at cover. This was MI’s third win in a row.
As soon as Rohit took the catch, he pointed towards Arjun and ran towards him in celebration. This showed that Rohit had faith in the young pacer.
The father of Arjun Tendulkar, veteran cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, was seen celebrating in the pavilion after seeing his son’s economical and effective bowling performance.
Overall, it was a great performance by Arjun Tendulkar under pressure in his first real test. He helped Mumbai Indians secure a comfortable win by 14 runs. With this performance, Arjun Tendulkar has shown that he has the potential to be a great player in the future and has made his father and the entire MI team proud.
