Arjun Tendulkar Lights Up Wankhede With Bat and Ball, Watch!
Playing for ARCS Andheri in the T20 Mumbai League, the 26-year-old produced an all-round show that turned the match into a one-sided affair. First with the ball. Then with the bat. And finally, with a sweet gesture that won everyone over.
Bandra Blasters had no answer to Arjun’s opening spell. He bowled three overs, picked up three wickets, and even bowled a maiden. It was sharp, disciplined, and exactly the kind of performance that makes people take notice. Thanks to him, Bandra could only manage 144 for 9.
Meet Arjun Tendulkar, the son of the great Sachin Tendulkar. He could easily live on his dad’s money. But he chose hard work and dedication towards cricket.

The target never looked big. But Arjun made sure it looked tiny. He smashed four fours and five sixes, racing to his runs with confidence. Young Musheer Khan stayed unbeaten on 54 at the other end. Together, they finished the chase in just 13.5 overs. Nine wickets in hand. Job done.
During the innings, one of Arjun’s massive sixes accidentally hit a young fan in the stands. Most players would move on. Not Arjun. After the match, he walked up to the boy, signed a ball for him, and made sure he was okay. That moment spoke louder than any runs or wickets.
Shivam Dube, who leads the side, praised Arjun’s discipline. He said Arjun has been grinding hard on his basics, even though he didn’t get much game time in IPL 2026. Nights like this, Dube added, are proof that the hard work is paying off.
Arjun Tendulkar walked away with the Player of the Match award, a trophy, and ₹50,000. But the real win? The smile on that young fan’s face.
