Arjun Tendulkar was bought at the last minute by mumbai Indians..!?
Mumbai Indians' last-minute purchase of arjun tendulkar in the 2025 IPL mega auction is being heavily criticized on social media. arjun tendulkar, the son of the god of cricket, is playing in local matches as a fast bowler. arjun tendulkar plays for the goa state team. His bowling performance was not satisfactory and he could not achieve much growth in cricket. However, he has been in the IPL since 2020. At that time, mumbai Indians bought him only at his base price. At that time, criticism arose that arjun tendulkar was bought because sachin tendulkar was an advisor to the mumbai Indians team. There was also criticism that mumbai Indians had forcibly bought arjun Tendulkar. He has taken only three wickets in five innings in the IPL so far. Therefore, many people thought that mumbai Indians would not buy him at the auction this time.
Also, in the syed mushtaq ali T20 series held the day before the auction, he had given away 48 runs in 4 overs and recorded a poor bowling performance. Therefore, there was an opinion that no team would try to buy him in the auction. Meanwhile, when arjun Tendulkar's name was announced for the first time in the auction, mumbai Indians did not show any interest in buying him. At that time, only players on the teams' preferred list were announced in the auction. That was when arjun Tendulkar's name was announced for the first time. Of course, mumbai Indians should have put him on the preferred list. But mumbai Indians did not buy him the first time. After that, it was said that each team could name the players they wanted. Then arjun Tendulkar's name was again in the auction. That's when mumbai Indians owners anand Ambani and Nita Ambani decided to buy arjun Tendulkar. arjun tendulkar was bought for his base price of 30 lakhs. Why was he delayed until the last minute instead of buying him when he was first announced? The question has arisen among the fans. At the same time, many are making fun of and teasing arjun Tendulkar. "The son of the cricket god (Sachin) has been given pocket money for a year." It is being teased on social media. Because he will not play in IPL matches anyway, in this situation, they are mocking him by saying that the salary he is being paid is his pocket money.
