Arjun Tendulkar picks up his maiden IPL wicket in stunning final over for Mumbai Indians

Arjun Tendulkar bowled a brilliant final over defending 20 runs and picking up his first IPL wicket, the left-arm pacer gave away only five runs.

Tendulkar was entrusted to bowl the last over and it was a big call from the MI team management. They had the option of using the likes of Tim David and Hrithik Shokeen, but Mumbai preferred Arjun, who had only bowled four overs prior to that in his IPL career.

Bhuvneshwar tried to go down the ground, but found an outside edge and Rohit Sharma took a simple catch at extra cover. While father Sachin couldn’t get a wicket in the IPL, Arjun had opened his account and in style.

Arjun has done one over his dad, the great Sachin Tendulkar was known to be a handy spinner apart from being the most prolific run scorer in the history of a game but never got a wicket in the IPL. Arjun finished with figures of 3.5-0-18-1. It was the first time Arjun bowled in the death over of an IPL match and he came out with flying colours.
