The former India player and batting legend Sachin Tendulkar warned of a fake account on Twitter in his son Arjun Tendulkar’s name and also asked them to take action against the account. He also added that neither of his children is on Twitter.

“I wish to clarify that my son Arjun & daughter Sara are not on Twitter,” Sachin Tendulkar took to Twitter and tweeted this. “@jr_tendulkar is wrongfully impersonating Arjun and posting malicious tweets against personalities & institutions. Requesting @TwitterIndia to act on this as soon as possible,” he further added.

The account tagged by Tendulkar has “Official . Left Arm Medium Pacer . Son of God,” as its bio. His son – Arjun Tendulkar, who is a left-arm pacer, was named in Mumbai’s squad for the pre-season tournament Bapuna Cup. The 20-year-old youngster has also represented Ealing and Marylebone Cricket Club Young Cricketers earlier. He was seen bowling in full tilt to English players in the nets ahead of their group stage match against Australia in the 2019 World Cup. In July 2018, Arjun was also a part of the India U-19 team that played the first Youth Test match against Sri Lanka. Before the match, his father had a motivational message for him also.

“In sports, nothing is guaranteed so whatever opportunities you are provided, you need to go out there and give your best and make the most of it,” Sachin Tendulkar had said to his son then. “This is one platform that I feel people will be following you, your performances and if you are doing well, you will be on top of the world,” he expressed.

“However, if he doesn’t get success, there is always a tomorrow and Arjun can come back stronger,” Sachin Tendulkar had concluded.

In May this year, Arjun took part in the Mumbai T20 League, playing for Aakash Tigers as well.
