Arjun Tendulkar, the promising left-arm pacer, continues to hone his skills in the nets for Mumbai Indians as he awaits his opportunity to debut in IPL 2024. In a recent video shared by the franchise, Arjun is seen attempting to knock over a single stump with his non-bowling arm, showcasing his determination and versatility.
Despite initial struggles, he switches back to his left-arm bowling and ultimately hits the target, much to the delight of onlookers. One notable reaction captured in the video is from MI’s legendary fast bowling coach, Lasith Malinga, who humorously points out the team’s surplus of fast bowlers, jokingly addressing the “problem of plenty.”
