Mumbai all-rounder and son of Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun, hit the ground running with the Mumbai Indian team for the season’s first training session. The defending champions of the Indian Premier League (IPL) began training in Mumbai ahead of their IPL 2021 opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Chennai on April 9.
Arjun Tendulkar, who made his Mumbai debut during the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 trophy earlier this year, was bought by Mumbai Indians for Rs 20 lakh. The left-arm paceman joined the likes of former India leg-spinner Piyush Chawla and batsman Saurabh Tiwary for the MI training camp.
Arjun Tendulkar was seen bowling in the nets to the likes of Australian opener Chris Lynn, who is one of the overseas Mumbai Indians already in the country.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene on Wednesday (March 24) arrived in Mumbai ahead of the upcoming edition of the IPL.
A few members of the Delhi Capitals’ squad, including pacers Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav, leg-spinner Amit Mishra and all-rounder Lalit Yadav assembled at the team hotel in Mumbai. The players arrived in Mumbai on Tuesday and they will now undergo quarantine until March 30.
