NEW DELHI: Arjun Tendulkar showcased his bowling prowess in the Dr (Capt) K Thimmappiah Memorial Tournament, a pre-season event for state teams. Representing Goa, Arjun's exceptional performance of claiming nine wickets in the match played a pivotal role in his team's resounding innings and 189-run triumph over the host side.
Arjun, the son of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, dished out a match-winning performance against KSCA XI, which primarily consisted of their U-19 and U-23 players, with only Nikin Jose and wicketkeeper Sharath Srinivas being the established names in the playing XI.
Tendulkar junior had an impressive match haul of 9 for 87 in 26.3 overs across both innings. In the first innings, he took 5/41 in 13 overs, helping to dismiss Karnataka for a mere 103 in 36.5 overs, PTI reported.
Goa responded strongly, amassing a total of 413, thanks to a century from Abhinav Tejrana (109) and a valuable contribution of 69 from Manthan Khutkar.
KSCA XI showed slight improvement in their second innings but were still bowled out for 121 in 30.4 overs. Arjun claimed 4 for 46 in 13.3 overs, contributing significantly to his team's success.
As Arjun approaches his 25th birthday next week, he has already played 49 competitive games across three formats at the senior level, claiming 68 wickets. In his 13 first-class appearances, he has taken 21 wickets, demonstrating his potential as a promising young bowler.
