Arjun Tendulkar leaves Rishabh Pant impressed with Sachin-style technique in LSG camp
India Today
IPL 2026: Arjun Tendulkar has already made heads turn at his new IPL camp. The young all-rounder left LSG captain Rishabh Pant impressed with his bat weight and a technique that clearly reflects his father Sachin Tendulkar's influence.
Arjun Tendulkar has made a strong early impression at Lucknow Super Giants ahead of IPL 2026, catching the eye of captain Rishabh Pant during training. The youngster stood out not just for his approach but also for his bat weight, which carries a distinct Sachin Tendulkar touch.
After joining LSG for the new season, Arjun was seen engaging in conversations with Pant during practice sessions at the Ekana Stadium. One such discussion around bat weights quickly grabbed attention, with the video of the exchange going viral on social media.

When Pant asked about his bat, Arjun revealed that he prefers using a heavier blade, something that surprised the LSG skipper.
"1220(gms). Touch karo toh jaati hai. Papa toh 1310-1315. Main toh 1200 se halka toh main jaata nahi hoon. (It flies even when you touch it. Dad used to play with 1310-1315. I don’t go below 1200)." Arjun said.
The numbers left Pant visibly taken aback, especially since Arjun’s bat is heavier than what many players in modern-day cricket opt for.
