Arjun Tendulkar has officially made a move to the Lucknow Super Giants. Arjun has struggled to break into the MI's star studded roster and has been on the fringes for the past couple of seasons. LSG have roped him in for Rs 30 Lakh to add more depth to their pace bowling attack.
"Thank you, Arjun for being a valued member of the Mumbai Indians family. Everyone at MI wishes you the very best for the next chapter of your journey with Lucknow Super Giants. We are proud to have been a part of your development and look forward to seeing you continue to grow and get opportunities to make your mark," MI wrote in a social media post.
Fans have long suspected MI's fascination towards Arjun being towards retaining the Tendulkar name in their roster. Sachin played for the franchise until 2013 until he retired. The 'God of Cricket' has since been part of MI's backroom staff as a club icon.
After his trade, fans on social media trolled the young all-rounder. The 26-year-old will now face the real test following his move to LSG.
The Mumbai Indians first picked Arjun Tendulkar in the IPL 2021 mini-auction for Rs 20 lakh, but he did not feature in any match that season. MI bought him again for Rs 30 lakh in the IPL 2022 mega-auction, and he made his long-awaited IPL debut in 2023, taking three wickets in four games. In IPL 2024, Arjun appeared in only one match. That turned out to be his final match in MI colours.
In the IPL 2025 mega-auction, Arjun went unsold in the initial round but was later acquired by MI at his base price of Rs 30 lakh in the accelerated round. He did not get a game that season and remained on the bench.
