After the dismissal of Piyush Chawla, Arjun Tendulkar came in to bat at number 9 for the Mumbai Indians. The young all-rounder took five singles from the first five deliveries he faced, and then prepared himself for a big shot.
In the final over of Mumbai Indians’ innings, Mohit Sharma bowled a short ball on the first delivery. Arjun Tendulkar remained composed and pulled the ball confidently over the deep square leg boundary for a 73-meter maximum.
Arjun Tendulkar’s impressive composure during his debut IPL six sparked comparisons with his father, Sachin Tendulkar, among cricket fans. Despite Mohit Sharma’s decent line and length, the ball sailed over the square leg boundary leaving the pacer in disbelief.
However, on the fourth delivery of the same over, Mohit made a comeback by delivering a slowish ball. Arjun attempted to heave it over the long-on boundary, but Joshua Little easily caught the ball, leading to Mumbai Indians losing their ninth wicket.
