Arjun Tendulkar ups his Yorker game with a jaw-dropping toe-crushing dismissal of Prabhsimran and the ideal gesture for Rohit.
In the thrilling final over of the previous game and then once more on Saturday during the match against PBKS, Arjun provided a glimpse of his yorker game.
Every video the team released on him showed a glimpse of the youngster honing his Yorker game. Even though Arjun Tendulkar spent the last two seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on the sidelines for Mumbai Indians.
Arjun has been dubbed the “Yorker king” of MI by his teammate. Tilak Varma thanks to his many months of diligent practice at the nets during his protracted wait for his debut cap. In the previous game’s outstanding final over and then once more on Saturday at the Wankhede Stadium. During the match against Punjab Kings, he gave a hint of it.

Arjun and Prabhsimran Singh were facing off when it occurred in the seventh over of Punjab’s inning. The batter was unable to put the bat down quickly enough to make contact with Arjun’s toe-crushing perfect yorker which he threw right into the blockhole.
The umpire raised his finger in response to Arjun’s sudden and loud appeal. Prabhsimran on the other hand chose the review. No spike was visible on UltraEdge as the ball left the bat. The ball tracking indicated that it would strike the base of the stump upon impact, which occurred in front of the centre.
Arjun was overjoyed as his teammates praised him for taking his second IPL wicket. But the 23-year-old tapped captain Rohit Sharma’s back grinned.
In three IPL games, Arjun now has two wickets. He had Bhuvneshwar Kumar out with a fuller delivery in the previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rohit had completed the dismissal by taking the catch at cover.
As in his previous two games, Arjun again opened the attack for the Mumbai Indians, who gave up five runs in the over.
