Arjun has been in the Mumbai Indians squad since IPL 2022 but he did not receive the chance to play earlier. Apart from Arjun Tendulkar, Duan Jansen of South Africa also received his maiden IPL cap on Sunday. Duan, who is the twin brother of Marco Jansen, was presented the cap by Suryakumar Yadav. With this, Duan and Marco have become the first twin pair to feature in the IPL. Duan was bought by Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023 auction for a sum of Rs. 20 lahks.
