The date of the mega auction of IPL 2025 has not been revealed yet, but the excitement for it is increasing. Before the auction, Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun Tendulkar has made a mark in the cricket world due to his sharp bowling. Playing for Goa in the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA Invitational Tournament), he has created a sensation by taking 9 wickets in a single match. After this performance, the possibility of a big bid on him in the auction has increased.
In the domestic circuit, thanks to Arjun’s 9 wickets in the match against Karnataka, Goa has given Karnataka a taste of a big defeat of an innings and 189 runs. He took 5 wickets for 41 runs in the first innings and 4 wickets for 46 runs in the second innings. In the entire match, he has taken 9 wickets for 87 runs. There is still suspense about BCCI’s retention policy, but there is a lot of hope that Mumbai Indians can release Arjun Tendulkar before the mega auction. If he enters the auction, he can definitely get a big bid.
Will Mumbai release him?
IPL 2024 was not good at all for Mumbai Indians and this time after the mega auction, it is expected that more than half of the MI team may be seen changed. Claims are being made that MI may release Arjun before the auction, but given his current form, Mumbai can also try to include him again.
Arjun made his IPL debut in 2023, in which he took 3 wickets in 5 matches. But he was heavily criticized for his poor economy rate of 9.37. If Arjun enters the auction, a major reason for him getting a big bid will be that he is a left-arm pacer and also swings the ball.
