New Delhi: Arjun Tendulkar, son of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, put on an impressive performance in the Group A match between Goa and Odisha in Jaipur. The Mumbai Indians all-rounder claimed 3 wickets, including two consecutive dismissals with his swinging deliveries. It’s fantastic to see Arjun find his form and deliver a standout performance, especially after facing criticism on social media for his acquisition by Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 Auction.
Arjun Tendulkar takes 3 wickets:
The Mumbai Indians all-rounder made an impact by dismissing Kartik Biswal, who was just one run short of his half-century, providing a crucial breakthrough for Team Goa. After the first wicket, he then outfoxed Abhishek Raut, who had been in solid form, securing a vital wicket at that moment. Following that, the Mumbai Indians star wrapped up his spell by clean bowling Rajesh Mohanty with a superb delivery that combined both swing and pace.
Goa scored 371/4 after being asked to bat first in Jaipur:
Odisha won the toss and chose to field first, but the decision backfired as Goa’s batsmen came out aggressively. The openers, Snehal Kauthankar and Ishaan Gadekar put together a crucial 159-run partnership, giving Goa a strong start before both were dismissed in quick succession.
Next, Darshan Misal and Siddharth KV combined for a brisk 105-run partnership for the third wicket, maintaining the momentum. Later, Vikash and Suyash Prabhudessai added 87 runs for the fifth wicket, propelling Goa to a substantial total of 371/4. It was a team effort with the bat, but Suyash Prabhudessai’s contribution was particularly crucial in pushing Goa past the 350 mark.
