IPL 2025 Auction: Not only Mumbai Indians, these 4 teams can also place a big bet on Arjun Tendulkar in IPL 2025 auction
Left-handed pace all-rounder Arjun Tendulkar is unable to come out of the shadow of his great father Sachin Tendulkar. Mumbai Indians have included him in the team for the last two seasons, but he was treated as a child. Now perhaps Arjun himself must have understood that he will have to come out of the shadow of the team and his father only then his cricket career will move forward.
IPL 2025 Auction: Not only Mumbai Indians, these 4 teams can also place a big bet on Arjun Tendulkar in IPL 2025 auction
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 once again add him to the team. However, due to the abundance of stars in the team, Arjun may not get a chance again. On the other hand, many other franchises can bet on the son of the great Sachin Tendulkar, but this will happen only if Mumbai releases him.
Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings always bets on those players who are big names. It has also suffered losses due to this. The franchise has spent a lot of money on players like Yuvraj Singh, Glenn Maxwell, and Sam Curran at different times. This time too it has a purse of more than 110 crores. However, it is expected that this time it will move away from its old bitter experiences and add those players to the team who will prove to be a smart move for the team. Arjun Tendulkar is such a player who has not got such opportunities yet. Arjun is a left-handed batsman and pace bowler. He can do wonders for the team. When Arjun conceded 31 runs in an over against Punjab, at that time the franchise's co-owner Preity Zinta openly supported him.
Gujarat Titans
Head coach Ashish Nehra is always famous for his new strategy. Once he even placed a bid on Arjun. He is famous for betting on those players who are downtrodden or out of 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 fits in the young GT team.
Chennai Super Kings
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is in the last phase of his IPL career. He is famous for taking players from rags to riches. There is no better team than Chennai for schooling cricketers right now. Ajinkya Rahane, who has earned the title of Test specialist in the team, also becomes a run machine. If Chennai takes a gamble, it will be good for Arjun's future as well. Sachin himself would like Arjun to get the tutelage of MS Dhoni. However, if this 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 the decisions of Chandrakant Pandit. Chandrakant Pandit is considered a strict coach. Interestingly, he is Sachin's guru bhai (childhood friend and disciple of Ramakant Achrekar). Arjun is a left-handed pace all-rounder. On the other hand, Shahrukh Khan and Sachin also have a good relationship. If the team bets on Arjun and gives him opportunities, it will help the cricketer to emerge.
Mumbai Indians will have to be given opportunities to buy
Arjun Tendulkar got opportunities under Rohit Sharma's captaincy, but after Hardik Pandya became the captain, he got only one match in which he scored 22 runs in 11 balls. Hardik is such a captain who starts the bowling and also bats in the top order. As a pace all-rounder, he is included in the team, so there may be no place for others. In such a situation, there are disadvantages for Arjun. If Mumbai buys him, then it will have to be ensured that he gets a chance.
