Arjun Sachin Tendulkar (born 24 September 1999) is an Indian cricketer from Mumbai, Maharashtra. He is the son of former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and is a left-handed medium bowler and left-handed lower-order batsman. He plays for Goa in domestic cricket, [2] [3] having previously played for Mumbai and its junior teams.
Arjun Tendulkar has been a part of the Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians since the 2021 season, [4] and made his debut with them in 2023. [5]
Arjun Tendulkar was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra to former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and Anjali Tendulkar (née Mehta) in 1999. He has an elder sister, Sara Tendulkar. [6]
His maternal grandparents are Anand Mehta, a Gujarati industrialist, and Annabel Mehta (née Lancaster), an English philanthropist who was awarded the Order of the British Empire for her service to underprivileged communities in Mumbai. [7]
His under-19 debut for India was against Sri Lanka in 2018. [8] He made his T20 debut on 15 January 2021, for Mumbai in the 2020–21 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Haryana. [9] On debut, he took 1/34 off three overs. [2]
Mumbai Indians brought him in auction ahead of the 2021 IPL. [10] [11] In September 2021, he was selected in Mumbai's senior squad for the first time. He was included in Mumbai's 22-man Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy squad. [12] However, he was later ruled out of the 2021 IPL due to injury. [13] In February 2022, he was again brought by the MI, this time in the auction for the IPL 2022 tournament. [14] In August 2022, he quit Mumbai to join Goa ahead of the domestic season. He is playing for them in 2022–23 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. [3]
On 13 December 2022, Tendulkar made his first-class debut while playing against Rajasthan in the Ranji Trophy. He scored a maiden century hitting 120 in 207 balls in the first innings. [15] [16] He made his IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians on 16 April 2023 against the Kolkata Knight Riders. [17] He also claimed his maiden wicket in the tournament by dismissing Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Standing at 6ft 3inch, the 18 year old Arjun is a left arm fast bowler and a handy lower middle order batsman.
Sachin Tendulkar revealed his wife Anjali decided to sacrifice her fledgling career as a pediatrician to make sure the batting great found success in the sport. Sachin Tendulkar married his girlfriend Anjali in 1995, just 6 years after making his international debut.
Mehta's family, the Lancasters, who hailed from Worcestershire, near Birmingham -- she is the daughter of a chartered accountant turned businessman and has three elder siblings -- were not enthralled with this plan that would take their daughter halfway around the world.
