Arjun Tendulkar, the left-arm pacer and son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, has been making headlines for his impressive yorkers during practice sessions with Rishabh Pant, captain of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Despite being signed from the Mumbai Indians at his base price during the IPL mini auction, Arjun has yet to make an appearance this season. Over his IPL career, he has played five matches, taking three wickets at an economy rate of 9.36. Recently, he expressed that he plays cricket for passion rather than to prove anything to anyone. Former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin expressed skepticism about Arjun's chances of securing a spot in the playing XI, citing competition from other bowlers in the team. In response, former cricketer Yograj Singh defended Arjun, criticizing Ashwin's remarks. Currently, LSG sits seventh on the IPL points table with one win and one loss.
