Currently, the Indian Cricket team is in London, marking the start of the England tour. India has two T20s against Ireland after which they will encounter Team England. On Tuesday, the Indian team practiced for the first time in England.
However, what was unusual was that Sachin Tendulkar's son, Arjun Tendulkar was seen practicing along with the Indian team. Fast bowler Arjun practiced a lot with Virat Kohli. Indian coach Ravi Shastri was also seen guiding Arjun with his, 'words of wisdom'

Arjun Tendulkar has been selected in India's Under-19 team for the tour of Sri Lanka in July. The practice for the Under-19 team will begin at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore soon and Arjun will return to India before the practice commences.
This is not the first time Arjun has been seen practicing with the Indian team. Last year, he was seen with the England team. Arjun had also practiced last year at Wankhede Stadium with Virat Kohli and other players.
While Arjun is selected for the Sri Lanka tour, he is practising with the Indian team in England. This has drawn a lot of flak against him and many of them have criticised the unethical benefits BCCI is giving him just because he is former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's son.
