Arjun Tendulkar

Mumbai Indians are the first team to be eliminated from the 15th season of the IPL. They lost eight matches in a row and got their first win in the last match against Rajasthan Royals. Even if they win all the remaining matches, Mumbai will not be able to advance to the playoffs.

In the match against Rajasthan, Mumbai bowler Kumar Karthikeyan’s performance was highly praised. Following the debut of Kumar Karthikeyan, there is a lot of talk in the cricket world about the debut of another player in the team. The main question among the fans is whether Arjun Tendulkar will be fielded by the Mumbai Indians this season.

Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene is now answering that question. ‘The point is to field the best players in the team. Let us consider if Arjun is involved in it. But the team combination is where the emphasis should be. Everyone in the squad has possibilities ahead of us. Let’s see how things go, ‘said Jayawardene.

Arjun was brought to the Mumbai Indians team for Rs 30 lakh. The Gujarat Titans had also come up with a star auction for Arjun. The Mumbai Indians have often shared Arjun’s bowling prowess in the Nets this season. Arjun missed the second leg of the 2021 season due to injury. Though he has not played matches since January 2021, Arjun has been included in the Mumbai squad this season.
