Mumbai Indians (MI) have teased an IPL debut for Arjun Tendulkar by sharing a video of him bowling a perfect yorker and rattling the batter's stumps during a practice session.
The 22-year-old was bought by MI in IPL 2022 mega auction for INR 30 lakhs and is yet to make his IPL debut.
However, with MI bowling struggling including Jasprit Bumrah, it appears a strong possibility that Arjun might make it to the playing XI for the important CSK match. He can also contribute with the bat and will serve as an all-rounder for the franchise.

Arjun has played two T20s for the Mumbai team and in the 2021/22 season, he was also a member of Mumbai's Ranji Trophy team, but he has never played in the format.
MI will face Chennai Super Kings on Thursday in their quest for their first win of the season (April 21). The Rohit Sharma-led team has lost all six of their games so far and is currently in last place.
MI will be more or less out of the race for playoffs if they lose to CSK. The match will be played at the DY Patil Stadium on April 21.
