Arjun Tendulkar, son of the famous Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, has been the talk of the town after his debut match for Mumbai Indians in the 16th season of the IPL. Mumbai Indians achieved a hat-trick of wins in their previous match, where Arjun showcased an impressive performance by bowling exceptionally well in the first two overs and taking his first wicket in the IPL in the last over. The match against Sunrisers Hyderabad saw Mumbai score 192 runs, thanks to Cameron Green's half-century. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost the match by 14 runs after getting all out in the last over, making it only the third instance in the current IPL season where a team has been all out.
During the match, experienced Australian fast bowler Jason Behrendorff took two wickets in his first three overs, but in his fourth over, 18 runs were scored. This resulted in Sunrisers Hyderabad needing 24 runs to win in the last two overs. The 19th over was bowled by Cameron Green, who conceded just four runs. With 20 runs needed in the last over to win, Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Arjun Tendulkar. The first ball was a dot, and Abdul Samad was run out on the second ball. Arjun bowled the third ball wide, but Ishan Kishan's agility behind the wicket saved the ball from going towards the boundary. When he yorked the third ball, two runs were scored, and the fourth ball was a yorker that hit the pads of Mayank Markande, getting a leg-bye run. Finally, Arjun Tendulkar took his first IPL wicket, becoming the first Tendulkar to do so in the IPL. The former Indian cricketer and coach Ravi Shastri was present on commentary and exclaimed, "Tendulkar finally got a wicket in the IPL, what the father could not do, the son did."
The achievement has been a significant talking point on social media. Arjun's impressive debut has sparked a discussion, with many praising his performance. Mumbai Indians and its players are also trending on social media due to their recent wins.
