Arjun Tendulkar, son of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, is gearing up for the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with the Mumbai Indians. The 24-year-old cricketer is dedicating his time to honing his skills in preparation for the challenging tournament ahead.
The toe-crushing yorker
In a video circulating on social media platforms, Arjun Tendulkar can be seen delivering a ferocious yorker that left his Mumbai Indians teammate Ishan Kishan floored during a practice session. While the identity of the left-handed batter could not be officially confirmed, users on social media platform X suggested it was indeed Kishan who faced the brunt of Tendulkar’s delivery.
