"With regards to Arjun, I said, focus less on his bowling and more on his batting," Yograj told CricketNext. "But if Yuvraj – he and Sachin are so close – takes Sachin's son under his wings for three months, I bet he will become the next Chris Gayle. "Often it happens that a fast bowler, if he undergoes a stress fracture, cannot bowl as effectively.Who's that IPL player?"I think that Arjun should be handed over to Yuvraj for a while." Arjun, 25, had trained under Yograj Singh in 2022 for 12 days before the start of the Ranji Trophy that season. Playing for Goa in Porvorim, Arjun had scored a century on his Ranji Trophy debut — just like his father all the way back in 1988.

"Sachin's son, he comes here for 12 days, scores a 100," Yograj said on 'Unfiltered by Samdish'."When he scored a hundred on debut and then returned to IPL, then people were afraid, what if his (Arjun's) name gets stuck with me? Do you understand what I mean?" he said."So people are afraid of getting a tag behind their name," he added."I told Yuvi - Sachin ko bolo - leave him with me for a year and see what happens."
