IPL 2026: Rishabh Pant Reveals Bat Weights of Sachin and Arjun Tendulkar in Viral Chat

As preparations intensify for the Indian Premier League 2026, an interesting conversation between Rishabh Pant and Arjun Tendulkar has caught fans’ attention. A video shared by Lucknow Super Giants shows the two players discussing their cricket bats, offering a glimpse into their playing styles and preferences.

During the interaction, Pant curiously asked Arjun about the weight of his bat. Arjun revealed that he uses a bat weighing around 1220 grams. When Pant questioned the advantage of using a heavier bat, Arjun explained that it helps generate more power—sometimes just a slight touch is enough to send the ball racing.

The conversation became even more interesting when Arjun spoke about his father, legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. He revealed that Sachin used significantly heavier bats during his career, typically weighing between 1310 to 1315 grams. Known for his remarkable achievements, Sachin scored 100 international centuries using such bats, highlighting how he combined strength and technique effectively.

Pant, who has been training under Yuvraj Singh to refine his batting, also praised Arjun’s dedication. He noted that Arjun continued practicing even immediately after his wedding, appreciating his commitment and passion for the game.

Arjun Tendulkar, who began his IPL journey with the Mumbai Indians, is set to play for Lucknow Super Giants this season. Having picked up three wickets in four matches since his debut in 2023, all eyes will now be on his performance in the upcoming season.

This light-hearted yet insightful exchange not only entertained fans but also offered a rare look into the technical choices of players, especially the legacy carried forward by the Tendulkar family in the world of cricket.
