Arjun Tendulkar shown no mercy after IPL graphic reveals speed in SRH vs MI tie: Afridi’s fastest ball was 134 kmph’

‘While he showed his prowess with variations in the powerplay, Arjun was shown no mercy by fans on social media after an IPL graphic revealed his bowling speed.

Arjun Tendulkar was retained by Mumbai Indians for his second IPL match in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. After going for 17 runs in two overs in his debut match against Kolkata Knight Riders two days back, Arjun was picked by Rohit Sharma with a broader plan in mind. The 23-year-old showed his prowess with variations while picking up his maiden IPL wicket, but Arjun was shown no mercy by fans on social media after an IPL graphic revealed his bowling speed.

Like in the KKR game, Arjun was asked to open the bowling attack for Mumbai Indians by skipper Rohit when SRH began their chase of 193 at home. In the opening over, he went up against Harry Brook, IPL 2023’s first centurion, who whacked him for a boundary through cover in the fourth ball. Arjun conceded six runs in the first over with three dot balls. In the second over, the 23-year-old looked to show more variation with slower deliveries. However, he ended his spell with Rahul Tripathi managing a boundary behind square leg.
