Unlike his father Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun is a fast bowler and bowls left arm pace. He is also a solid left-hand batter. Arjun will now play for Mumbai's Ranji Trophy team, the team for which once his father also played. 

Arjun used to travel with his father to the nets when he was a kid. That was an indication that Tendulkar Jr had keen interest in cricket. He also had the luxury of bowling at the England nets when Alastair Cook and Co had come visiting in 2016 to play four Tests, bowling some fiery yorkers and bouncers at Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow. 

Here we look at how Arjun made his way into the Mumbai team.
