Arjun Tendulkar was a popular topic during Mumbai Indians games last season, which resulted in the team finishing last in the points table.

Son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun previously joined Mumbai Indians in 2021 and he has been with the group since. However, the fast bowler, who is 23 years old, has yet to play in the Indian Premier League.

In preparation for the IPL 2023, Arjun has been working out with the Mumbai Indians, and when asked if he might make his debut, captain Rohit Sharma responded, “Good question, hopefully.”

Mark Boucher revealed that Arjun Tendulkar has recently recovered from an injury and will begin his training sessions on March 29 in an effort to regain his rhythm.

“Arjun is just coming off from an injury. He is going to be playing tonight. Hopefully we can see what he can do. I think he has been playing very good cricket, especially in terms of bowling in the last 6 months. So yes, if we can have him available for selection, it will be pretty good for us,”

he added.

The management of the Mumbai Indians team is hoping that Arjun Tendulkar will get in good shape and play a role for the five-time IPL champions in 2023

Due to a back injury, Mumbai Indians’ lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the IPL 2023 season. Despite Jofra Archer’s availability following his injury-related absence from the IPL 2022 season, MI lacks Indian fast-bowling options in their squad. Arjun Tendulkar, who has put together some impressive performances for Goa during the most recent domestic season, may have the best chance of making the team.
