Arjun Never Took Sachin's Wicket

Sachin later spoke about the moment during an interaction with fans, recalling how Arjun dismissed him while they were training at Lord's. While it was not a competitive match, it remains one of the rare occasions when the young pacer got the better of his legendary father.
