Arjun Tendulkar became the talk of the town ever-since he made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians against Kolkata Knight Riders.

However, his main accomplishment came during the match Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday, where he scalped his maiden IPL wicket.

The junior Tendulkar delivered perfect yorker and even dismissed Bhuvneshwar Kumar on the fifth delivery. After the match ended, MI posted a video on their Twitter and gave a glimpse of the Arjun's practice session.

MI had finished 10th and last in the previous edition. The Mumbai team is currently placed seventh with eight points from eight matches and things are not looking great for Rohit Sharma's side.

Ever since he made his debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Arjun Tendulkar, son of batting great Sachin Tendulkar, has garnered a lot of attention from experts and fans of cricket. Arjun made his debut for Mumbai Indians earlier this month against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) but failed to take a wicket.

Former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody believes that Arjun Tendulkar is sort of a surplus to Mumbai Indians' resources and as a result, it is not guaranteed that the youngster will get to complete his full quota of four overs on a regular basis. Tendulkar bowled two overs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter against Gujarat Titans and although he conceded just nine runs, he was not given a second spell in the final overs. The MI attack was taken to the cleaners by Abhinav Manohar and David Miller as the defending champions posted a huge total of 206.

Mumbai Indians pacer Arjun Tendulkar drew a lot of criticism after he conceded 48 runs in three overs against Punjab Kings in an IPL 2023 game. Out of those three, he conceded one over alone. Playing only his second IPL match, Arjun, son of the great Sachin Tendulkar, became part of an unwanted tally. Arjun's 31-runs over was the second most expensive over by an MI bowler in the IPL. Daniel Sams holds the first position as he conceded 35 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022. For the third position, there is a tie between three players as Pawan Suyal against Royal Challengers Bangalore (2014), Alzarri Joseph against Rajasthan Royals (2019) and Mitchell McClenaghan vs PBKS (2017) had conceded 28 runs each.
