Mumbai saved the honor of Arjun Tendulkar who was earlier unsold… This was the reaction of Nita Ambani-Akash Ambani after buying – ipl 2025 mega auction arjun tendulkar sold price team salary stats akash nita ambani reaction viral

Jeddah: Arjun Tendulkar, son of Sachin Tendulkar, one of the greatest batsmen in cricket history, has once again joined Mumbai Indians in the auction for the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League. For Arjun, home franchise Mumbai Indians bought him for Rs 30 lakh, whereas his base price was only Rs 30 lakh. When Arjun’s name, which was earlier unsold, came up in the auction, Mumbai Indians owner Akash Ambani bid on him. As expected, no other team showed interest in him. When auctioneer Mallika Sagar announced the name of Arjun Tendulkar that he will be a part of Mumbai Indians, there were smiles on the faces of Nita Ambani and Akash Ambani. He welcomed Arjun by clapping. In fact, his relationship with the Tendulkar family is much more than that of a cricketer and team owner. Arjun has studied in Ambani School and is now a part of the same team in the Indian Premier League. The team bought him for the first time in 2021 for a base price of Rs 20 lakh. Since then he is a part of this team.

He did not get a chance to debut in 2021, but he joined the same team again in 2022 for Rs 30 lakh. He continued to sit on the bench in 2022, while debuting for the team in 2023. This season, he took 3 wickets in 4 matches for the team, while scoring 13 runs. In 2024, he got only one match under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, in which he could not take a wicket while batting was not available. In this way, it remains to be seen whether the team includes him in the playing-11 this season or not.

It is noteworthy that Sachin Tendulkar used to play for Mumbai Indians only. He captained the team for a long time, while at present he is included in the support staff of this team. He is the mentor of the team and the players of the team get a lot of benefit from it. It is important to mention here that just a few days ago, while playing for Goa against Mumbai in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match, Arjul had given away 48 runs in 4 overs.
