For a person of Sachin Tendulkar’s stature, people always lay their eyes of the successors. Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has certainly raised the bars of cricket by achieving some impossible records in all the International formats of cricket. Starting exclusively from a couple of years, his son Arjun Tendulkar is on news all the way since then.
It is his entry into cricket that roped him into the limelight. To be fair his left arm medium pace also speaks immensely about his abilities but just like every other star kid- he too is in the limelight not in the way they appreciate it. One must understand that if it was about power, Arjun would have been in the Indian Team by now but Sachin would be the first one to advise him against using his name and we are glad that Arjun is following his father’s footsteps of determination and hard work to reach his goal.
As of now, in terms of professional cricket, Arjun recently got selected in the Jy Lele Tournament – A tournament nobody knew about until Junior Tendulkar got selected for it. Unlike getting selected as the most promising player, he did not do too well in the first 2 games and could manage only 14 runs with a solitary wicket.
But how did this affect his next? Well, Arjun was deliberately dropped from the Team just like any other player who doesn’t perform. Arjun is no exception and we are glad that he is not because we respect Arjun and want to know him by his own identity which we do. We believe he has a lot of talent and will certainly make it big one day.
The interesting topic of this incident is that Sachin Tendulkar didn’t take any measure to plan a re-entry of Arjun, he instead inculcated rich values of game spirit in his son, thanks to the ‘God Of Cricket’ for being an epitome of inspiration now and then.
As per the selection into International cricket, it is believed that every tournament the player was involved in will be considered, and in Arjun’s case, the bad experience in Jy Lele will be a bit stain, though it didn’t matter much if he does exceptionally well in the following matches.
