Arjun Tendulkar, son of Sachin Tendulkar, is preparing for a new chapter in his career. He has been traded from Mumbai Indians to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for ₹30 lakh ahead of IPL 2026. Arjun has played only five IPL games and has three wickets to his name so far, so he is eager to prove himself. He has been having some good net sessions in the last few months and the skill and determination are there.
Video clips from LSG practice sessions show Arjun rattling stumps with his medium-fast deliveries. He’s also impressively handled the ball with the bat and he’s been running on the pitch with his medium-fast deliveries. LSG’s social media team posted clips with the caption “Arjun in Arjun mode 🥵” on Instagram to promote the team’s social media that quickly went viral. He has done so through his energy and dedication to playing and his fans said he's making a point of being hungry to be part of the team and working hard to make it work.
Arjun is humble. He is the son of one of India’s greatest cricketers but he has often carried drinks as the 12th man and has always been there in a supporting role without complaint for some time now. He’s worked hard, and not just on his privilege. He has earned his teammates' and fans' respect and is a player who is mature in his attitude.
Arjun has shown some signs of progression, but we can’t rest our fingers on his ability to make the LSG’s playing XI. The team already has a strong bowling attack and his medium-fast pace is going to be needed in the high-pressure environment of T20 cricket. But critics say he needs to add more speed and variation to his bowling to succeed at this level. However, the fact that he trains hard shows he’s determined.
Arjun Tendulkar’s move to Lucknow Super Giants represents a huge opportunity for him. The net sessions are bringing him more and more attention, both bowling and batting. The fans love his humility and hard work ethic and the critics wait to see if he can rise above the odds and earn a place in the starting eleven. As IPL 2026 approaches, Arjun’s journey will be closely watched, not only because of his famous surname, but because of his intent to make his mark in cricket.
