Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022: Arjun Tendulkar shines with his career-best performance against Hyderabad

Arjun Tendulkar is a long way from emulating his father in the cricketing field, but he is most certainly on the right track. Son of the legendary Indian cricketer, Arjun recorded his best T20 bowling figures, scalping four wickets against Hyderabad in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022. The left-arm pacer returned with dazzling bowling figures of 4/10 in his four overs.

Coming to the game, Hyderabad skipper Tanmay Agarwal laid his side with a fluent 55 off 41 deliveries. He was supported valiantly by young batting bulwark Tilak Verma. Tilak smashed six fours and two maximums in his 46-ball stay at the crease.

Mickil Jaiswal and Tanay Thyagarajan contributed with handy cameos at the end to help Hyderabad to a strong total of 177 runs in their 20 overs.

Notably, Arjun made his debut in the competition for Mumbai last year after impressing in junior cricket. He was snapped by Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians for INR 20 lakhs in IPL 2021 auction. That year, he joined the franchise as a net bowler, then become a permanent member the next year.
