Arjun Tendulkar has turned 25, but his cricket career is still hanging in the balance. Arjun, who scored a century in his Ranji Trophy debut match for Goa, played for Mumbai Indians in the last 2 seasons, but he did not get many opportunities. He has been released by the franchise. There is every possibility that Mumbai Indians will add him to the team once again. However, due to the abundance of stars in the team, Arjun may not get a chance again. On the other hand, there are many other franchises who can bet on the son of the great Sachin Tendulkar, but only if Mumbai leaves him.

Punjab Kings always bets on those players who are big names. He has also had to suffer losses due to this. The franchise spent a lot of money on players like Yuvraj Singh, Glenn Maxwell and Sam Curran at different times. This time also he has more than Rs 110 crore purse. However, it is expected that this time it will move away from its past bitter experiences and add those players to the team, which will prove to be a smart move for the team. Arjun Tendulkar is such a player who has not got that kind of opportunity yet. Arjun is a left-handed batsman and pace bowler. He can do wonders for the team. Arjun had conceded 31 runs in an over against Punjab, at that time franchise co-owner Preity Zinta had openly supported him.

Gujarat Titans

Head coach Ashish Nehra is always famous for his new strategies. Once he even bid on Arjun. He is famous for betting on players who are underdogs or outside the mainstream. Mohit Sharma is the biggest example of this. If Arjun Tendulkar is not getting opportunities in Mumbai, then Nehra would like to include him in the team. There is no doubt that he also fits the bill in the young GT team.

Chennai Super Kings

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is in the last stages of his IPL career. He is famous for taking players from the floor to the heights. At present there is no better team than Chennai for the schooling of cricketers. Ajinkya Rahane, who has got the title of Test specialist in the team, also becomes a run machine. If Chennai makes a bet, it will be good for Arjun’s future also. Sachin himself would also like Arjun to get the protection of MS Dhoni. However, if that happens, it will be interesting to see how the son of a Mumbaikar looks in the yellow jersey.

Kolkata Knight Riders

After Gautam Gambhir’s departure, KKR will now follow Chandrakant Pandit’s decisions. Chandrakant Pandit is considered a tough coach. Interestingly, he is Sachin’s Guru Bhai (childhood friend and disciple of Ramakant Achrekar). Arjun is a left arm pace all-rounder. On the other hand, Shahrukh Khan and Sachin also have good relations. If the team bets on Arjun and gives him opportunities, it will help the cricketer to emerge.

Mumbai Indians will have to give opportunities to buy

Arjun Tendulkar got opportunities under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, but after Hardik Pandya became the captain, he got only one match, in which he got 22 runs on 11 balls. Hardik is such a captain who not only starts the bowling but also comes out to bat in the top order. As a pace all-rounder, he himself is included in the team, so it is possible that there may not be space for someone else. In such a situation, there are losses for Arjun. If Mumbai buys him then it will have to be decided that he gets a chance.
