Despite having big shoes to fill, Arjun Tendulkar is staking his own claim in world cricket as a fiery left-arm fast bowler.
Playing for the MCC Young Cricketers at Lord’s in London, Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun opened the bowling against Surrey Second XI.
His ripper from over the wicket to opener Nathan Tilley in just the youngster’s second over breached the English batsman’s defence, hitting middle and off and knocking him over.
Here’s the video:
