Arjun Tendulkar, the son of legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, has been included in the South Zone squad for the upcoming Deodhar Trophy 2023. The 23-year-old left-arm pacer made his debut in the IPL earlier this season, representing the Mumbai Indians against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
The Deodhar Trophy, an inter-zonal 50-over tournament, is scheduled to take place in Puducherry from July 24. Mayank Agarwal, who led the South Zone team in the Duleep Trophy 2023 final against West Zone, will once again captain the side. Arjun Tendulkar’s inclusion in the squad comes as a result of his impressive performances for Goa in the domestic circuit last season.
Arjun was one of the joint-leading wicket-takers for Goa, picking up eight wickets from seven games. He also showed his talent in the IPL, taking three wickets for the Mumbai Indians. This year has been a fruitful one for Arjun, as he not only made his IPL debut but was also selected for a recent Emerging all-rounders’ camp conducted by the BCCI.
In addition to Arjun Tendulkar, the South Zone squad includes other promising players such as Vidwath Kaverappa, Vyshak Vijaykumar, and V Koushik. Mayank Agarwal will be supported by Rohan Kunnummal as the vice-captain of the team, while players like N Jagadeesan, Devdutt Padikkal, Washington Sundar, and Sai Kishore are also part of the roster for the first three games.
The inclusion of Arjun Tendulkar in the South Zone squad for the Deodhar Trophy 2023 highlights the young pacer’s growing reputation in Indian cricket. With the opportunity to play alongside established players, Arjun will be looking to make his mark in the tournament as he continues to develop his skills and carve out his own path in the sport.
It will be interesting to see how Arjun performs on this bigger platform and how his presence contributes to the South Zone’s chances in the Deodhar Trophy. His performances will also be closely watched by fans and critics alike, who have high expectations from the talented youngster.
The Deodhar Trophy provides a great opportunity for young and aspiring cricketers to showcase their skills and gain exposure at the domestic level. With some of the best talents from different zones competing against each other, the tournament promises to be an exciting affair.
As cricket enthusiasts eagerly await the start of the Deodhar Trophy 2023, all eyes will be on Arjun Tendulkar, as he looks to make a name for himself in the prestigious tournament and prove that he is worthy of his place in the South Zone squad.
