Arjun Tendulkar is going to feature in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the first time. He was bought by Mumbai Indians (MI) at his base price of Rs 20 Lakh in the IPL 2021 auction.
The 21-year-old wasn't one of the biggest attractions in the auction for the franchises, as no other team bid for him apart from MI. However, there was a lot of talk going around among the fans for the Mumbai cricketer as he registered his name in the auction.
