Out of father’s shadow
For years, Arjun Tendulkar has been making an attempt to flee the shadow of his father on a cricket subject. When it couldn’t occur in Mumbai, he moved to Goa. Now, he has tasted the sensation of a Ranji Trophy hundred in his debut outing. The journey hasn’t been straightforward. The surname has had its privileges but it surely additionally comes with a burden.
It was a dry monsoon in Mumbai in 2015. Kanga League, historically a wet-weather cricket event, was being performed on the dry, coarse grass within the maidaans in south Mumbai. At one aspect of a floor, a bunch of boys sat bantering underneath a small tent one afternoon. Arjun Tendulkar had simply been bowled off an inside edge after swishing round on an under-prepared pitch.
Chai bobbled round in white plastic cups, and a teammate rotated to go it on. “Eh, chai peeyega?” Arjun shook his head, the boy let fly some snark: “Haan, haan, tu toh increase he piyega na?” It was a surreal second: The star-status of his father and a well-liked TV advert that includes his father, offering a real-world dig.
The final notion throughout this part was that Arjun was a boy in love with the sport but it surely wasn’t clear whether or not he had the abilities to grade up. The left-arm medium tempo appeared respectable sufficient and the batting can be noticeable on events. There was nothing dramatic.
