Arjun Tendulkar Boosts IPL Prospects with Five-Wicket Haul
Timely Performance Ahead of IPL Auction With his maiden five-wicket haul coming just days before the IPL 2025 mega auction, Arjun’s performance adds to his appeal as a promising young pacer.
Previously picked by Mumbai Indians for Rs 30 lakh, he could retain or improve his position in the IPL pool this season, especially given his consistent showing in the current Ranji Trophy.
Accumulating 11 wickets in just three matches, Arjun has already registered a four-wicket haul against Sikkim earlier in the season, proving his worth in the domestic circuit.
Arjun’s contribution played a critical role in reducing Arunachal Pradesh’s total, with teammate bowlers Mohit Redkar and Keith Pinto also chipping in to finish off the lineup in 30.3 overs.
With further development, Arjun Tendulkar has the potential to become a key domestic and IPL player, carrying forward his father Sachin Tendulkar‘s legacy.
