Arjun Tendulkar in domestic cricket so far…

Arjun, 25, has steadily carved out his own path as a left-arm pace bowler and all-rounder representing Goa in domestic cricket. Across 24 first-class appearances, he has picked up 52 wickets at an average just over 38 while also contributing 685 runs, including a memorable century on debut in the Ranji Trophy against Rajasthan in 2022. The milestone carried added significance, echoing his father, Sachin Tendulkar’s, hundred on his Ranji debut for Mumbai back in 1988. In List A cricket, Arjun has featured in 24 matches, claiming 26 wickets and adding useful lower-order runs. His T20 record includes 35 wickets from 29 outings, underlining his ability to make an impact in the shorter format.

On the IPL front, he has had limited opportunities so far, turning out five times for the Mumbai Indians across two seasons. Although released ahead of the 2025 campaign, he was later re-signed at the mega auction for INR 30 lakh. For the upcoming season, he has moved to Lucknow Super Giants, marking a fresh chapter in his professional journey.
