Arjun Tendulkar’s LSG Bid Faces Immediate Selection Question

A deep fast-bowling roster leaves his place in the first XI in doubt.

Overview

  • With Lucknow’s opener approaching, a viral interview shows Arjun Tendulkar saying he does not fear criticism as team clips showcase his warm-ups with captain Rishabh Pant.
  • Lucknow signed the left-arm seamer at his Rs 30 lakh base price after two seasons at Mumbai Indians, where he played five matches and logged three wickets and 13 runs.
  • Ravichandran Ashwin said he doubts Tendulkar will feature soon because LSG already have Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan and Mohammad Shami in their pace group.
  • Former India cricketer Yograj pushed back on Ashwin’s remarks and defended Tendulkar’s case for opportunities.
  • Tendulkar represents Goa in domestic T20s with 35 wickets in 29 games at an economy of 8.58, offering a broader read on his form than his brief IPL record.
