Mumbai Indians registered a 14-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2023 match on Tuesday. Asked to bat first, MI posted a whopping total of 192/5 in 20 overs with Cameron Green playing an unbeaten knock of 64. Later, SRH were bundled out for 178 after a combined effort from the entire bowling unit. However, the match turned out to be a memorable one for Arjun Tendulkar as he not only defended 20 runs in the last over for his team but also took his maiden IPL wicket. Arjun, son of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, has received numerous praises for his performance as he registered the figures of 1/18 in 2.5 overs.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar drew a brilliant similarity between the father-son duo and stated that Arjun has inherited Sachin's temperament.
"Everybody talks about the amazing talent Sachin Tendulkar had at the start of his career. But it was his temperament that was absolutely amazing, and Arjun seems to have inherited that. He seems to be a shrewd thinker as well. It's always a good sign when a youngster is bowling the final over for the team and delivering," said Gavaskar on Star Sports Cricket Live.
Notably, Sachin and Arjun are the first father-and-son duo to have played in the IPL.
With SRH needing 20 runs in the last over, Arjun scalped his maiden wicket on the fifth ball as he dismissed Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was caught by Rohit Sharma at covers.
