Ahmedabad: Son of cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun Tendulkar, recently showed his performance in a Mumbai Indians versus Gujarat Titans Indian Premier League (IPL) game. Despite being accused of nepotism, Arjun put forth a strong effort, taking a wicket and only giving up nine runs in two overs. Additionally, he smashed veteran bowler Mohit Sharma out of the park with his maiden six of the IPL.

Arjun has been under fire for his bowling velocity, which reached 107.2 kmph, but former Australia bowler Brett Lee told him to ignore the naysayers and concentrate on improving his game. "Almost everything you do will be criticised by someone. Sandeep Sharma has been bowling at a speed of 120 kph, if you observe him. 

Arjun bowls much more quickly than that. Even at the young age of 23, he still has his entire career ahead of him. Don't pay attention to criticism, is the advice I have," Brett Lee stated.

In contrast to his last match against Punjab Kings, where he allowed 48 runs in three overs, including 31 runs in one over, making it the second-most expensive over by a MI bowler, Arjun's performance against GT was noticeably better. Arjun has demonstrated promise despite this setback, and his performance against the Titans has silenced his detractors.

Mumbai Indians' Arjun Tendulkar appeals successfully for the dismissal of Gujarat Titans' Wriddhiman Saha  during the IPL Twenty20 cricket match between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 25, 2023.
