Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma was seen discussing with the team’s youngsters including Arjun Tendulkar ahead of their next match against Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. Arjun stood silent and seemed to be listening to the skipper quietly.

The five-time champions lost their 11th consecutive season opener, going down to Royal Challengers Bangalore by eight wickets on Sunday.

Among the youngsters, Rohit suggested that the management was keeping a keen eye on Arjun Tendulkar, who is yet to make his IPL debut but looks good to go this season for the MI.

“Arjun Tendulkar is playing good cricket in recent times. He was injured but today he will start his bowling,” Rohit said of the 23-year-old in the pre-season press conference.

Head coach Mark Boucher had also reiterated the same, “Arjun has been playing good cricket for some time, he is bowling well, we are thinking that he will play in the playing XI this year.”
