'Beginning of great things to come': Arjun Tendulkar gets big praise after heroics vs SRH

Arjun Tendulkar is the name that is on a roll lately. Following his debut against KKR, the youngster featured once again in the playing XI for Mumbai Indians in the MI vs SRH match. This time Tendulkar went a notch up with his presence as he was entrusted to bowl the final over of the game.

Playing only his second game in arguably the most professional cricket league out there, Arjun Tendulkar held his nerves and showed temperament while bowling the 20th over the game. SRH needed 20 off the last over to win and though number 9, 10, and later number 11 were on the crease, the batsmen were ready to throw caution at the wind. However, Tendulkar nailed his spots and did the job for his captain Rohit Sharma. Tendulkar only conceded 5 in the last over and also picked his first IPL scalp. 

A special moment for young Arjun Tendulkar, who gets his first wicket in #TATAIPL and it is his captain Rohit Sharma, who takes the catch of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
