Arjun Tendulkar, son of Sachin Tendulkar, is making his IPL debut today against KKR. Arjun was bought by Mumbai Indians in IPL 2022 but didn’t get a chance to represent the franchise. However, the moment has arrived when fans will get to witness the son of Sachin Tendulkar at the grand level.  The social media is going all guns blazing over Arjun’s debut.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma is not playing for MI today. Suryakumar Yadav, who is captaining Mumbai in Rohit’s absence, revealed that Sharma has a stomach bug. Rohit, however, has been kept as an impact player.

“Will love to bowl first, the wicket looks dry. The ball comes on to the bat nicely later. Rohit is out, he has a stomach bug. Time to put up a good show. We are going with one change, Duan Jansen comes in, rest all is same,” said Surya at the toss.
