Arjun Tendulkar, the son of famous cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, just made his debut for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. The team had a great win against Kolkata Knight Riders by five wickets.
Mumbai Indians, a cricket team, won their game of 186 with 14 balls to spare!
Arjun and Sachin Tendulkar are the first father-son duo ever to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Arjun is 23 years old and usually bowls but he recently got his debut century while playing for Goa against Rajasthan. 49-year-old Sachin retired in 2013 as one of the greatest batsman of all TIME- he scored 100 centuries for India. He used to play 6 seasons with Mumbai and currently serves as the teams mentor.
Tendulkar tweeted “Congrats Arjun, you reached a huge milestone in your cricket career! As someone who loves and cares about you, I’m sure you’ll give your full effort and respect to the game – and in return the game will love you too.”
“You worked hard to get here. Now the fun part starts! Best of luck!”
Venkatesh just became the second ever batter in the IPL (Indian Premier League) this year to score a hundred! He did it by hitting nine sixes and six fours, which was his first time ever achieving a T20 century.
It’s only the second century hit by a batman from Kolkata since 2008, when Brendon McCullum made an unbeatable total of 158 runs in the very first game of this league.
Ishan Kishan was the hero from Mumbai as he scored 58 runs in just 25 balls to give his team a strong start. Suryakumar Yadav also contributed 43 runs off 25 balls and Tim David stayed unbeaten with 24 runs off 13 balls, helping Mumbai win the championship for a fifth time.
