Arjun Tendulkar delivered a complete all-round performance to power ARCS Andheri to a commanding nine-wicket victory over Bandra Blasters in the ongoing T20 Mumbai 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. The young all-rounder starred with both ball and bat, earning the Player of the Match award after producing one of the standout performances of the tournament so far.
After ARCS Andheri elected to field first, Arjun wasted no time making an impact. The left-arm pacer struck twice in the opening over, removing Prateek Kumar Yadav and Parag Khanapurkar to leave Bandra Blasters in early trouble. The wickets triggered a dramatic collapse as the batting side lost their top three batters within the space of just five deliveries.
Bandra Blasters never fully recovered from the early setbacks and found themselves struggling at 37/5 by the end of the Powerplay. Arjun continued to apply pressure throughout his spell and finished with impressive figures of 3/11 in three overs, including a maiden over.

Coming in at No. 3, Arjun joined forces with Musheer Khan, and the pair put together an unbeaten century partnership that completely took the game away from the opposition. Musheer played a composed knock of 54 not out from 38 balls, striking seven boundaries and a six.
