Mumbai based Arjun Tendulkar‘s journey in cricket has been under intense scrutiny, largely due to his lineage. As the son of one of the world’s best cricketers, Sachin Tendulkar, expectations are naturally high, and his every move is placed under a microscope. Evaluating his future requires a balanced look at his performances, challenges, and potential.
Born in Sep 1999, Arjun is 25 years old at the time of us writing this, and this is usually the age by which a cricketer should’ve made big strides if he wants to make it to the highest level. Star kids usually try the game for a few years before dropping out, much like Aryaman Birla from the multi-billionaire Birla family, who had a few good years, got an IPL contract, and then retired to join the family business.
Arjun Tendulkar history and achievements
Arjun is a left-arm fast-medium bowler and a left-handed batsman. He has been developing his skills in domestic cricket, playing for Goa now in domestic cricket, after previously being with Mumbai. He has shown glimpses of promise, including a first-class century and a five wicket haul in Ranji Trophy matches.

This demonstrates that he has the capability to perform at the domestic level. That century was 120(207) he scored on debut against Rajasthan, while his best with the ball was 5/25 against Arunachal Pradesh in November 2024. In the Indian Premier League, his experience with Mumbai Indians has been limited; he has played some matches, but has not yet established himself as a regular player, getting 3 wickets in 5 IPL games so far.

Arjun Tendulkar IPL 2025 Auction
The IPL over the years has turned out to be a highly competitive environment. After being picked by MI in IPL 2023 and IPL 2024, not being picked up in the IPL 2025 mega auction, shows that he is having to prove his worth in a very tough environment. This is a clear indicator that he is being judged on his own merits, and there’s no nepotism involved.
Arjun Tendulkar hits a 100 on Ranji debut. Just like his dad @sachin_rt Sachin Tendulkar 34 years ago! Brilliant

His performances in domestic T20 tournaments have been inconsistent, which contributed to not being picked in the IPL auction. Hence, Arjun Tendulkar IPL 2025 is not going to happen. He is at an age where he needs to solidify his place in professional cricket. He has time to develop, but the window of opportunity to make the highest levels narrows with every passing year.
Consistency is key, and he needs to demonstrate sustained performance in domestic cricket to attract consistent IPL opportunities, and to have a chance to play for the Indian national team. While he possesses talent, he needs to elevate his game to outperform his peers, improve his consistency, and develop his mental fortitude.
In essence, while the weight of expectations is significant, Arjun Tendulkar’s future is in his own hands. We believe that a national side debut may never happen for the younger Tendulkar, but we wish him the best in his journey to keep trying.
