Left-arm pacer Arjun Tendulkar was on Saturday picked for ₹5 lakh by the Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburb for the second season of the T20 Mumbai League after an intense bidding war. Arjun is the son of former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and unlike his father, he opted to be a bowler.
Arjun was included in the all rounder category with a base price of ₹1 lakh. Many teams bid for the youngster but the highest bid was raised to ₹5 lakh by North Mumbai Panthers, which is the maximum bid amount.
Therefore, Charu Sharma, who was conducting the auction, gave the two new teams, Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburb, and Eagle Thane Strikers, an option to exercise the OTM (Opportunity to Match).
After which, a card was drawn and thus, Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburb got Tendulkar.
Meanwhile, Triumph Knights Mumbai North East, who won the inaugural edition, have retained Suryakumar Yadav and Akash Parkar. The Shivaji Park Lions decided to retain Shivam Dube and Siddhesh Lad.
The NaMo Bandra Blasters have kept Shreyas Iyer and Eknath Kerkar. SoBo Supersonics have retained Jay Bista and Dhrumil Matkar while ARCS Andheri have decided to retain Shubham Ranjane and Tushar Deshpande.
