Yograj Singh, former India cricketer, has made an outrageous claim regarding his son Yuvraj Singh and Arjun Tendulkar, the son of legendary Sachin Tendulkar. Arjun notably trained under Yograj Singh two years back, when he had switched domestic teams from Mumbai to Goa.

Sachin had asked Yuvraj to train Arjun, and the decision worked wonders, as the kid hit a century on his Ranji Trophy debut.  The union was short-lived, but Yograj believes the sky is the limit now that Arjun is under Yuvraj's wing.

Yuvraj may not get much attention, but his influence on the growth of Shubman Gill and now Abhishek Sharma is widely documented.  If the two-time World Cup winner can work closely with Arjun, Yograj believes Tendulkar Jr. has the potential to become the next Chris Gayle of international cricket.

"With regards to Arjun, I said, focus less on his bowling and more on his batting. But if Yuvraj – he and Sachin are so close – takes Sachin's son under his wings for three months, I bet he will become the next Chris Gayle. Often, it happens that a fast bowler, if he undergoes a stress fracture, cannot bowl as effectively. I think that Arjun should be handed over to Yuvraj for a while," he told CricketNext.

Arjun last played competitive cricket in December, for Goa, in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. A month before, he had his first First-Class five-wicket haul, with 5/25 against Arunachal in the Ranji Trophy. This came shortly after his statistics of 4/81 against Sikkim. Arjun has played six matches for the Mumbai Indians.
