Earlier unsold Arjun Tendulkar was bought by Mumbai out of compulsion… This was the reaction of Nita Ambani and Akash Ambani.

Cricket News Desk. Arjun Tendulkar, son of Sachin Tendulkar, one of the greatest batsmen in cricket history, has once again joined Mumbai Indians in the auction for the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League. Arjun's domestic franchise Mumbai Indians bought him for Rs 30 lakh, while his original price was only Rs 30 lakh. When Arjun's name, which had not been sold before, came up for auction, Mumbai Indians owner Akash Ambani bid on it. As expected, no other teams showed interest in him.

When auctioneer Mallika Sagar announced Arjun Tendulkar's name to be a part of Mumbai Indians, Nita Ambani and Akash Ambani were all smiles. He welcomed Arjun by clapping. In fact, his relationship with the Tendulkar family goes far beyond being a cricketer and a team owner. Arjun studied at Ambani School and is now part of the same team in the Indian Premier League. The team bought him for the first time in 2021 at a base price of Rs 20 lakh. He has been a part of this team since then.

Arjun Tendulkar

He did not get a chance to debut in 2021, but in 2022 he joined the same team again for Rs 30 lakh. He sat on the bench in 2022, while debuting for the team in 2023. This season he scored 13 runs in 4 matches and took 3 wickets for the team. In 2024, under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, he got only one match, in which he did not get any wicket due to not being available to bat. In such a situation, it remains to be seen whether the team includes him in the playing-11 this season or not.

It is noteworthy that Sachin Tendulkar earlier played for Mumbai Indians only. He captained the team for a long time, while currently he is a part of the team's support staff. He is the mentor of the team and the players of the team benefit a lot from him. Let us tell you here that just a few days ago, Arjul, playing for Goa against Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match, had given 48 runs in 4 overs.
