Arjun Tendulkar helps Mumbai U-19 crush Gujarat with match-winning five-wicket haul

Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun is carving a niche for himself after the young bowler grabbed all the headlines with a clinical bowling performance in Mumbai's opening match against Gujarat in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy 2018.

The left-arm bowler wrecked havoc through the Gujarat batting lineup by claiming a five-wicket haul in the 8.2 overs he bowled, giving away only 30 runs. The 19 year-old's magical spell saw Gujarat beng bundled out for a paltry 142 runs.

In response, the Mumbai openers Parkar (67*) and Divyaanch (45) made the chase look like cakewalk as they reached the target in 38 overs. This meant that Mumbai had registered an emphatic nine-wicket victory over Gujarat in the Round 2, Elite Group A and  Group B clash.

Much credit for the win goes to Arjun Tendulkar, who opened the floodgates by packing home the Gujarat top-order batsmen Vardhman Dattesh Shah (0), Priyesh (1), LM Kocher (8), Jaymeet Patel (26) and Dhruvang Patel (6).
