Tendulkars In The Spotlight At Wankhede

Nearly a decade after Sachin Tendulkar hung up his boots, Mumbai cricket's most famous surname 'Tendulkar' was back on the Wankhede scoreboard on Sunday.

Arjun, the legendary Sachin's son, made his IPL debut against the Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai.

The Tendulkars became the first father-son pair to play the IPL.

Arjun, who was given his MI cap by Captain Rohit Sharma, bowled two overs with the new ball in which he conceded 17 runs without taking a wicket.
