Will Arjun Tendulkar Make His Debut in MI vs CSK IPL 2023 Match? Check Possible Playing XI of Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians can hand Arjun Tendulkar his much-awaited debut in the IPL when they face Chennai Super Kings in their first home game of IPL 2023. Rohit Sharma and his side suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore in their first match of IPL 2023.
Arjun Tendulkar has waited for long on the sidelines for an opportunity to play in the IPL. The young bowler has been part of the Mumbai Indians outfit since 2021 but has found it hard to break into the first team of the five-time champions. The 23-year-old, seeking game time, moved from Mumbai to Goa in domestic cricket and had a good time this season. In the Ranji Trophy, the youngster took 12 wickets in seven games and scored his maiden first-class hundred. Junior Tendulkar also was amongst the wickets in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20, where he had 10 scalps in seven games.

Mumbai Indians have been hit with a massive injury blow this season to Jasprit Bumrah, the leader of their fast bowling attack. While Bumrah’s absence was sorely felt by the five-time champions in their season’s opening defeat to RCB a week ago, this does pave the way for someone like a Arjun, who can make an impact with the ball and also score handy runs if needed. When asked about him getting a spot in the playing XI, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma sounded optimistic as he said, “Good question, hopefully.” Mumbai head coach Mark Boucher also stated that the youngster is coming off an injury.
