The day Arjun Tendulkar was eagerly waiting for has finally arrived. The cap which he was dreaming of wearing day and night, he got that cap in the 22nd match of IPL 2023. Arjun made his IPL debut against Kolkata Knight Riders. The son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar was bought by Mumbai for the first time in 2021 at a base price of Rs 20 lakh.
Although Arjun was out of the league in 2021 due to injury. Mumbai bought him again in 2022, but he could not get a chance to debut. His entire season was spent sitting on the bench.
Rohit gave the debut cap
Arjun's wait is over in IPL 2023. After losing 2 matches, Mumbai gave him a chance to debut. Earlier, he was seen giving water to his fellow players on the field. Before the toss, Rohit, the regular captain of Mumbai Indians, gave him the debut cap. However, Suryakumar Yadav is captaining in place of Rohit in this match.
