Sunday, April 16 2023, was a big day for the Tendulkar family as Arjun Tendulkar made his long-awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) debut at Wankhede Stadium for Mumbai Indians (MI) against two-time IPL winners Kolkata Knight Riders. What made Arjun’s debut more special was presence of his father Sachin and sister Sara inside the stadium. After getting his cap from Rohit Sharma, stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav asked Arjun to open Mumbai’s bowling attack against Kolkata. Mumbai Indians had bought Arjun in IPL 2021 auction for his base price of Rs. 20 lakhs but was benched for the entire season. MI re-signed Arjun for Rs 30 lakh in IPL 2022 auction, and yet again he didn’t play a single game.
