Sachin Tendulkar and his son have a unique record in the Indian Premier League. This is the first father son’s pair that has played for the same franchise Mumbai Indians.

On 16 April 2023, Mumbai Indians gave Arjun Tendulkar a chance to debut in the IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders. Regular captain Rohit Sharma could not become a part of the playing XI due to stomach problem. In his place, Vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav took command of the team. Rohit’s absence gave Suryakumar a chance to captain, while Indian all -rounder Arjun Tendulkar also got a chance to debut in the IPL, which came two years after being signed by the franchise in the 2021 auction.
Father and son turning out for the same franchise 10 years on. A history first in the IPL. Good luck arjun tendulkar.
