Arjun Tendulkar wasted little time returning to cricket after one of the biggest moments of his personal life. Just a day after tying the knot with Saaniya Chandhok, the young all-rounder was back on the field competing in the DY Patil T20 Cup in Mumbai. The son of legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar got married on Thursday in a star-studded ceremony attended by several prominent figures from cricket, business and entertainment.
However, the celebrations didn’t keep him away from professional commitments for long. On Friday, Arjun turned up for DY Patil Blue in the tournament’s semi-final against Mumbai Customs. It turned out to be a difficult outing for the left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder. With the ball, Arjun conceded 20 runs in his only over, struggling to find rhythm in a high-pressure knockout clash.
His contribution with the bat was also limited, as he scored 9 runs from 14 deliveries while trying to stabilise the innings. DY Patil Blue eventually went down to Mumbai Customs by five wickets, ending their campaign in the tournament.

The move marks an important phase in his career as he looks to establish himself at the highest level of T20 cricket.
