Arjun, son of Sachin Tendulkar<\/a>, made his IPL debut against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday. On Tuesday with eight-down SRH needing 20 off the final over, the 23-year-old Arjun kept his cool as he bowled couple of good yorkers and also took the wicket of Bhuvneshwar Kumar<\/a>.\u00a0After the match, Arjun’s maiden wicket was lauded by several former cricketers and celebrities.<\/p>\n “Many mocked him for nepotism but tonight he has shown his spot is well earned Congrats Arjun. @sachin_rt \u00a0you must be so proud #Arjuntendulkar #SRHvsMI #TATAIPL2023,”\u00a0Preity Zinta, Bollywood actor and co-owner of Punjab Kings, wrote in a tweet.<\/p>\n Many mocked him for nepotism but tonight he has shown his spot is well earned Congrats Arjun. @sachin_rt<\/a> you must be so proud #Arjuntendulkar<\/a> #SRHvsMI<\/a> #TATAIPL2023<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Preity G Zinta (@realpreityzinta) April 18, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n “Arjun Tendulkar today grew in stature.

I just had to focus on what was in hand, the plan and executing it. Our plan was just to bowl wide and get the long boundary into play, make the batsman hit it to the longer side,” he said.<\/p>\n “I love bowling, I am happy to bowl anytime the captain asks me to and just stick to the team plan and give my best. We (Sachin Tendulkar and him) talk about cricket, we discuss tactics before the game and he tells me to back what I practise every game. I just focused on my release, bowling good lengths and lines upfront. If it swings, it’s a bonus, if it doesn’t, so be it.”<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Topics mentioned in this article<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
