Mumbai Indians pacer Arjun Tendulkar had a poor day with the ball in the ongoing game against Punjab Kings. Since his debut against Kolkata Knight Riders last week, he has earned a lot of praise from fans and ex-cricketers. Not to forget, he defended 20-odd runs against the Sunrisers Hyderabad albeit bowling to tailenders in the end. Meanwhile, the Junior Tendulkar took his maiden wicket in the form of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
In the ongoing game, the left-arm pacer started well as he bowled a five-run over to start the game for the Blue Brigade. In the game, the home team, Mumbai won the toss and elected to bowl first. After bowling the first over of the game, Tendulkar came back to bowl the seventh and took the wicket of Prabhsimran Singh (26) with a fantastic yorker.

After bowling his second over, he was taken off the bowling attack. On the other hand, the Red Army was reduced to 83/4 with Piyush Chawla striking twice in the 10th over. Meanwhile, the likes of stand-in skipper Sam Curran and Harpreet Singh Bhatia played steadily for the next few overs. For the next five overs, they hit two fours and a six.
However, in the 16th over, the floodlights opened with both batters targeting Tendulkar. After being 118/4 in 15 overs, they decided to take the game on. They scored 31 runs with Curran hitting a six and a four. On the other hand, Bhatia hit three fours (including one against a beamer) and a six. Thanks to their efforts, the scoring rate increased. Curran ended up getting a half-century while Bhatia scored 41 off 28 balls
The 2022 20-20 World Cup winner hit 55 off 29 balls including five fours and four sixes as he continued his carnage. After they got out, Jitesh Sharma hit four sixes in seven balls and helped the team reach 214/8 at the end of the innings.
