While in Match No. 25 of IPL 2023 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he dismissed SRH batter Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2 runs from 5 balls) on the second last ball of the 20th over. He kept his cool and bowled good lines to help his side register its third straight win.

Speaking on Arjun’s debut, former West Indies cricketer and commentator Ian Bishop revealed that Sachin was in tears seeing son play in the IPL.

“The floor manager had a word with Sachin, I won’t call out his name, the floor manager, he mentioned that he loved the fact that Arjun is now playing in the IPL. Sachin had tears in his eyes. And he said, you know when I bowled the first time in the IPL, my first over went for five. Arjun’s first over went for five as well. So Sachin had that in his mind all the way through,” Bishop said on-air.

Former India Head Coach Ravi Shastri also added an interesting remark on Tendulkar and said, “He will be tense though. Every time Arjun gets the ball, Bish (Bishop) mentions about him remembering. He will forget a few innings of his but he will not forget one over. And that he’s bowled. He will remember every over.”
