Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar might be gone from cricket. However, in the form of his son, Arjun, his off-sping is gearing up to get into the circuit and play professional cricket soon.

Arjun was recently involved in a practice game for Mumbai, ahead of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, slated to get underway from January 10. However, things did not go well for him, as he was at the receiving end of a prime batsman, Suryakumar Yadav.

Arjun has been working hard to get into the circuit, as he continues to train under Rahul Drabd and WV Raman. He has also represented Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Namibia U-19, against who he impressed with the ball.

Suryakumar has been on a run-scoring spree since the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL), playing for current champions, Mumbai Indians (MI). He finished as its third-highest run-scorer, with 480 runs in 15 innings, at an average of 40.00, including four half-centuries, while he is yet to make his debut for Team India.
