Arjun Tendulkar, son of great Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, is going to play for Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Lucknow has traded him to five-time champion Mumbai Indians. Arjun did not get many opportunities for Mumbai but he will have a lot of expectations from the Lucknow camp. Only time will tell how much confidence captain Rishabh Pant has in him, but at the moment a video of Pant and Arjun has definitely become a topic of discussion.

In the video going viral on social media, Pant can be seen chatting with Arjun in which they are discussing the weight of their respective bats. It can be seen in the video that Pant is surprised to know the weight of Arjun’s bat. Arjun also reveals that his father, the great Sachin Tendulkar, used an even heavier bat during his illustrious career.

In the video, Pant also asked Arjun what are the benefits of using a heavier bat? Arjun replied, “1220 (grams). The ball goes away with just a light touch. Papa used to use a bat weighing 1310-1315 grams. I don’t use a bat weighing less than 1200 grams.”

This is the first time that the left-hander will be playing for a team other than Mumbai Indians and he will be hoping to get more opportunities with the Super Giants. He played five matches for five-time champions Mumbai Indians and took three wickets. Overall, he has played 29 T20 matches in his career and has taken 35 wickets at an average of 22.97 and an economy rate of 8.58.
