Former India cricketer Yograj Singh has claimed the Mumbai Indians ignored his advice on Arjun Tendulkar, insisting the young all-rounder has batting potential “like Sachin Tendulkar.” His remarks have sparked fresh debate over Arjun’s role and development. Yograj expressed that he was amazed when he witnessed Arjun batting in the nets, noting that he plays similarly to his father, Sachin Tendulkar, who is celebrated as the greatest batsman in cricket history. The former Indian cricketer reminisced that just days after training with him, Arjun scored a century on his Ranji Trophy debut for Goa against Rajasthan in 2022. Arjun made a remarkable debut for Goa in the Ranji Trophy in December 2022, scoring a century that mirrored the achievement of his father, Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin, too, had hit a century on his Ranji Trophy debut back in 1988, when he scored a hundred against Gujarat as a young teenager.
