The IPL 2025 Mega Auction saw many surprises, and one of the most talked-about moments was the return of Arjun Tendulkar to Mumbai Indians, the team he has been part of since his IPL debut. Despite not being sold in the first round, Arjun’s name resurfaced in the second round, where Mumbai Indians secured him once again for his base price of Rs. 30 lakhs.

Arjun Tendulkar, the uncapped player, plays for Goa in Ranji cricket. His IPL career has been relatively uneventful so far. Over the course of five matches, he batted in only one, scoring 13 runs. With the ball, he bowled 73 balls, conceded 114 runs, and took 3 wickets at an economy rate of 9.37. His debut match was on April 16, 2023, against Kolkata Knight Riders, and his last appearance was against Lucknow Super Giants in the previous season.

Arjun’s inclusion in the Mumbai Indians squad has raised eyebrows, with some speculating that his presence in the team is more about the respect Mumbai Indians holds for his father, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, than his actual performance on the field. Despite these doubts, Mumbai Indians have chosen to stick with the all-rounder, who has been a part of their setup for years.

Many fans and netizens have reacted differently to this move, with some supporting the idea of keeping Arjun as a legacy player, while others feel it is time for the team to focus on form and performance rather than family connections. Regardless, his return has sparked discussions across social media, with fans eagerly awaiting how he will perform this season.

Mumbai Indians Squad for IPL 2025:

• Captain: Hardik Pandya
• Key Players: Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Tilak Verma, Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Will Jacks
