22-year-old Arjun Tendulkar is a part of Mumbai Indians in the 15th season of IPL. Arjun is waiting for his debut since last season. In IPL 2021 too, Arjun was bought by Mumbai Indians but this player has not got a chance to play a single match so far. This time Mumbai has joined him in the auction for 30 lakh rupees. The match between Mumbai and Gujarat Titans will be played on Friday (May 6). In this match, Arjun can get a chance to show his skills. Mumbai Indians are in the worst condition in IPL 2022. Mumbai is the first team to be dropped from this season. In such a situation, the head coach of Mumbai can try the bench strength.
Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene has given his response to the question related to Arjun's debut. He said, 'Well, I think every player in the team has an option. We will see how things progress. It's about the match-up, how can we win the match. Our priority is to make sure we get the right match-up."
The team of Mumbai Indians is known for betting on new and talented players. This time the franchise has given South Africa's Dewald Brevis and Tilav Verma a chance. Both the players have done well at the crucial juncture. On Arjun's question, Jayawardene further said, "There is a confidence thing in the game. We managed to get our first win and it's all about winning together and getting the confidence back. The best players are fielded on the field. If Arjun is one of them, we will consider it. But it all depends on the team combination.
