Overview
- In a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy league match against Madhya Pradesh, Arjun bowled the first over and returned 3 for 36, then hit 16 off 10 at the top of the order.
- He has recently been promoted to open in T20s for Goa and, after typically taking the second over, took the very first over in this game.
- Across five matches in the current tournament, he has compiled 70 runs and eight wickets, reflecting his expanding all-round role.
- His domestic record now stands at 48 wickets and 620 runs in 22 first-class games, 25 wickets in 18 List A matches, and 35 wickets and 189 runs in 29 T20s.
- Coverage contrasts the feat with Sachin Tendulkar’s T20 usage, noting Sachin never opened the bowling and delivered only 93 balls for two wickets, while Times Now reports Arjun has been traded to Lucknow Super Giants ahead of IPL 2026.
