Batting great Sachin Tendulkar's son, Arjun, clicked with the ball for the third time in age-group cricket this season, his five-wicket haul paving the way for Mumbai's win over Railways in the U-19 Cooch Behar Trophy.

 

Arjun, a promising left-arm pacer, grabbed 5 for 44 in 11 overs as Mumbai bundled out Railways for 136 in their second innings to win the match by an innings and 103 runs.

Arjun had picked up a fifer against Madhya Pradesh three weeks ago and later picked up a four-for against Assam.

In the match against Railways, he had remained wicket-less in the first innings, returning figures of 0-23, but came back strongly in the second to take five wickets at the Sachin Tendulkar Gymkhana in suburban Kandivili.

Electing to bat, Mumbai had posted 389 courtesy a double century by Yashavi Bhupender Jaiswal in their first innings. They then bowled out Railways for 150 with A Vashishtha taking eight wickets for 30 runs.

In the 2nd innings, Arjun picked the first four batsmen of Railways and then the ninth wicket to complete his five-for.
