Arjun Tendulkar dropped from Mumbai Indians team; Rohit Sharma won’t give another opportunity

In the ongoing season, Mumbai’s Arjun Tendulkar has made an impressive debut, having played four matches and securing three wickets. In IPL 2023, the Mumbai Indians have made a noteworthy resurgence, showcasing their prowess on the cricket field. The team’s performance has been quite the opposite of what was expected thus far.

Bumrah and Richardson had already been ruled out. Jofra Archer’s mid-season departure. Rohit Sharma’s poor form and the bowlers’ consistent inability to keep
the opposition under 200 runs have been a cause for concern. The team was facing difficulties due to all of this.

Amidst the ongoing events, the batsmen of Mumbai have delivered an outstanding performance, leading the team to secure a spot in the top-4 of the points table with 6 victories out of 11 matches. Amidst all of this, the pressing question remains: where has Arjun Tendulkar vanished to? What led to Rohit Sharma’s sudden loss of faith in him? Is it possible that he will miss the entire season for Mumbai Indians now? Following the last four matches, a number of questions have begun to surface.

In a recent development, Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, marked his debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on April 16th. The young cricketer made his appearance in the 22nd match of the tournament, where he played against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

In the match, his economical bowling caught the attention of everyone. In a display of impressive skill, he spearheaded the pace attack in all four matches he played for Mumbai. In addition, he managed to secure three wickets during the same period. However, his one over proved to be the decisive factor in the outcome of the game.

In a recent match against Punjab Kings, Sam Karan and Harpreet Bhatia proved to be the game-changers as they hit a combined total of 31 runs to secure a victory. Criticism ensued after that. Reports indicate that he deviated from the established course and provided additional actions or items. After a shaky start, the player made an impressive comeback against Gujarat.

He bowled economically in the first two overs and managed to take the crucial wicket of Wriddiman Saha. After bowling just two overs, he was not given another chance by Rohit Sharma in the following four matches.

The reason behind Arjun Tendulkar’s dropping has not been officially disclosed yet. Arjun Tendulkar was last seen in action during Mumbai Indians’ recent match against Gujarat Titans. In his powerplay, he skillfully bowled the first two overs, keeping the economy rate under control, and managed to take a wicket. In addition, he managed to secure a wicket during the powerplay phase against Punjab.

In the match against Gujarat, Rohit Sharma refrained from bowling to him. Furthermore, he was subsequently excluded from four consecutive matches without any opportunity to play. Mumbai emerged victorious in a match against Rajasthan Royals, thanks to the impressive debut performance of Arshad Khan, who managed to take three wickets.

Akash Madhwal emerged as a formidable opponent for Arjuna, posing a significant challenge. On Friday, Mumbai is scheduled to play its 12th match against Gujarat. It remains to be seen whether Rohit will feed these two players or give a chance to Arjun, as the decision will only be revealed after the toss. Currently, there are indications that Rohit Sharma may not have complete trust in Arjun and may be apprehensive of him.

The reason why he refrains from having him bowl during the death overs is as follows. The individual in question withdrew from their academic pursuits without any indication of subpar performance. These various factors prompt one to ponder. It appears that Arjun’s return to the team is unlikely at this point.

According to the statistics, the economy of bowlers Arshad Khan and Akash Madhwal has surpassed that of Arjun as the match has progressed. Arshad’s economy of 13 in three matches resulted in him looting runs, leading to his exclusion from the RCB match. In three matches, Akash has conceded runs with an
economy rate exceeding 10.

It remains to be seen whether Rohit Sharma will grant Arjun Tendulkar another opportunity in light of the current circumstances. In four matches, Arjun conceded runs with an economy rate of over 9 and managed to take three wickets. In a thrilling match against Sunrisers, he showcased his bowling skills by delivering the last over and securing his first IPL wicket.

He also managed to take wickets against Punjab and Gujarat during the powerplay. It remains to be seen whether Rohit will demonstrate faith in him once more.
