Arjun Tendulkar stunned everyone by taking five-wicket haul in Cooch Behar Under-19 Trophy
Arjun Tendulkar, the son of Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar has made headlines by performing a bang in junior level cricket. Arjun did not let the high pressure of being Sachin Tendulkar's son and thus grabbed five wicket haul in Cooch Behar Trophy Under-19 match between Mumbai and Madhya Pradesh.
This is not the first time that Arjun made headlines. Before this, he also delivered the balls to Indian skipper Virat Kohli in nets at the time of series between team India and New Zealand.
In addition to it, Arjuna had also delivered balls during the practice session of Jonny Bairstow of England during the series against South Africa. Bairstow was then clean-bowled by Arjun on a wonderful York ball. The 18-year-old Arjun represented Mumbai on the Under-14 and Under-19 level.
Earlier, Sachin has also admitted that his son Arjun does carry the excess baggage of being his son.
“Unfortunately, he has the excess baggage of his surname and I know that is going to be there,” said the Indian batting great.
“It is not easy for him. For me, it was different as my father was a writer and nobody questioned me on cricket. I feel that my son should not be compared to me and should be judged for who he is. I am not interfering in his career because I think it is not fair. He has to have the freedom to express himself. I can guide him. Not on a regular basis, but when I feel that he needs to be told something, then I do. I don’t take his class every evening when he comes back home. I do not want to lecture, but let him enjoy the game and fall in love with cricket, which he is (doing). I have told him things about hard work like any father would.”
