Arjun Tendulkar looked professional in the interview, despite facing some mockery on social media. Fans have put unrealistic expectations on Arjun only because of his famous father. Arjun, who is still regarded a 'work in progress,' was asked if he feared criticism during the podcast. His assured response discounted the possibility.
The competition at Lucknow Super Giants will be different, where the pace attack will be led by Mohammed Shami, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan, and Anrich Nortje. However, Arjun's bat skill may allow him to play a role in the franchise's lower-middle order.
