Arjun Tendulkar has been making a lot of noise in the domestic circuit by putting up well-rounded performance and he once again proved his mantle. The son of legend Sachin Tendulkar is currently in Australia to take part in Spirit of Cricket Global Challenge and while playing for Cricket’s Club of India, the teenager produced an eye-catching all-round performance against Hong Kong Cricket club in a T20 match, picking up four wickets in four overs and smashing 48 runs off 27 deliveries as an opener.
"I just got stronger [growing up], grew taller and I loved bowling fast from my childhood. I thought I may as well be a quick bowler because there aren't many in India," Arjun was quoted as saying by abc.net.au on Thursday.
Arjun carries enormous weight of expectations being the son of Little Master but he is not affected by that. "I don't take that pressure, when I bowl I just hit the deck hard on every ball and when I bat just play my shots and choose which bowlers to take on and which bowlers not to," he said.
The Spirit of Cricket Global Challenge aims at "promoting the spirit of the game and celebrating the many friendships built through it." The tournament began on January 7 and will continue until 14 January. Eight teams are participating at the event including SCG XI, Marylebone Cricket Club, Cricketer's Club of India, Singapore Cricket Club, Hong Kong Cricket Club, South Australian Cricket Association, Singalese Cricket Club and Izingari.
