Mumbai Indians fast bowler Arjun Tendulkar seems to be enhancing his skillset ahead of the upcoming IPL 2024 season. As part of a recent team training session, the 24-year-old cricketer was spotted bowling in the nets to IPL 2024 teammate Nehal Wadhera.
In a short video shared by the Mumbai Indians franchise on their social media accounts, Tendulkar hurled down a couple of toe-crushing Yorkers at Wadhera, prompting the latter to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
Arjun Tendulkar preps for IPL 2024 with pinpoint Yorkers
Arjun Tendulkar, who made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians last year, was retained by the franchise in November 2023 during the IPL 2024 retention phase. Mere weeks prior to the commencement of the IPL 2024 season, the young fast bowler immersed himself in an intense nets training session alongside several of his teammates.
While bowling to fellow Mumbai Indians youngster Nehal Wadhera, Tendulkar sent down a couple of brutal toe-crushing yorkers, thus bewildering the Punjab-based batter with sheer pace and pinpoint accuracy.
Arjun Tendulkar and Nehal Wadhera made their IPL playing debuts for Mumbai Indians last year. While the young fast bowler snapped three wickets from four innings, Wadhera played throughout the season and scored 241 runs at a staggering strike rate of over 145.
Mumbai Indians, having won its last title back in 2020, will take the field in 2024 under new leader Hardik Pandya. They will be facing Gujarat Titans in their opening match of the tournament on March 24 at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium.
