Arjun Tendulkar at 7 years

Here is an incidence which shows that how seriously Arjun Tendulkar watches his dad on field. At such a young age Arjun Tendulkar demonstrated a sharp cricketing brain.

India – Pak one day match at Mohali (2007)

“Come on Sachin, bowl in the block hole”, the then seven-year old Arjun cheered, when Younis Khan entered the 90s in Pakistan’s reply to India’s 321.

“C’mon Sachin, bowl him a yorker,” Arjun Tendulkar shouted again when Younis crept up to Sachin Tendulkar’s score of 99.

“Sachin, get him out,” shouted Jr Tendulkar at the prospect of Younis surpassing Sachin’s score.

“Oh no!” Arjun expressed his disappointment when Younis Khan overtook his dads score!

But he was soon back in action and started cheering his dad!

Arjun, constantly kept following the score board, chewing his nails like his dad, as he cheered Team India to win.

Even when Younis Khan and Misbah ul Haq refused be get out, Arjun was passionately cheering for India. “C’mon India, we need a wicket now,” he shouted, earning an adoring glance from mother Anjali Tendulkar and star tennis player Sania Mirza who was also present at the occasion.

“We need one more wicket, India,” Arjun shouted when Misbah got out. “We must get Afridi out … he’s a dangerous player,” the young Arjun Tendulkar shouted.

Arjun Tendulkar is Publicity shy just like his famous father. When a lade TV reporter requested him for an interview, he politely declined saying “I don’t want to be interviewed”.

Arjun was very disappointed when Pakistan scored the winning runs of the last over of the match.

Arjun Tendulkar at 6

Arjun Tendulkar has also met with Gerg Chappell on 4 April 2005. Pravin Barve the secretary of the MIG Cricket Club introduced Chappell to Arjun Tendulkar.

Greg Chappell, who was in Mumbai to launch a cricket coaching scheme for young cricketers, met the 5 year old Sachin’s son.

“Oh, is it Sachin’s son?” said Chappell. “Hey, little guy. What’s your name?”

The little guy, looking a little puzzled at the media crowd together and the 56-year-old stranger, spoke after some time, “Arjun.”

“Andrew?” asked a quite confused-sounding Chappell.

More confusion from Tendulkar junior’s end.

“Oh… Arjun,” Chappell corrected himself after some prompting.

Arjun then sat down with Chappell. “He has some queries for you,” someone told Chappell.

“Oh I don’t think he needs to answer me for his queries. He has the best batsman to get his answers,” answered Chappell at Arjun’s obviously confused stare.

Chappell asked, “So, do you bowl or bat like your dad?”

“Both.”

“Oh yes, you do? What’s your highest score? Maximum runs you’ve scored?”

Arjun replied . “Eight.”

“That’s fine. That’s good for a five-year-old. How did you score that 8? You hit boundaries or singles?”

“Fours,” Arjun answered quickly.

“And what is your favourite shot? The square cut, the pull and the cover drive?”

Things were getting technical for the people in the room, let alone a five-year-old who had yet to come to terms with the Australian accent.

“Six,” was Arjun’s monosyllabic answer.

“Okay, so it doesn’t matter how long you hit a six. Good!”

The media persons were taking too long to appear and Chappell and Arjun were running out of topics of chat, they decided it was time to say goodbye.

“He is a sharp guy, thinks much before speaking,” said Chappell. He then recalled that the first certified game of any sorts that he had played was at the age of 10.

Arjun Tendulkar (at 6 years)

Filed under: Arjun Tendulkar: 6 years — Tags: Arjun Tendulkar, Indian Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar's son — Udit @ 10:39 am

There is incidence which shows the interest he plays his father’s game.

As the India team practiced with the local provincial side at the Crusaders Cricket Club, a cricket match was going on outside the boundary line. Arjun Tendulkar, a young lad at 6, was the centre of all the attention when he was called to play by a group of local children.

His father Sachin relaxing in the dressing room, his mother Anjali and sister Sara watching him from above, Arjun Tendulkar, in a dark blue T-shirt with his dad’s number 10, waited for his turn to be selected in one of the teams and subsequently quickly placed himself, at what can be first slip (his father position), behind a huge drum that they used as a wicket.

As the game started, you could see Arjun Tendulkar screaming loudly. “Hey, get ready. Don’t look here and there, concentrate on the game,” Arjun screamed at the captain of his team, who was keeping wickets. His captain’s name was Sachin, son of a Durban businessman.

Then he was seen shouting out the scores. “Zero for one, six for two.” And finally, it was his turn to bat. A left-handed batsman unlike his dad, with the bat almost of his size reaching up to his chest, he played the first ball wildly, was bowled. “Let give him another chance,” said the one of the bigger boys of the group. Another ball, another swing, and he got out again.

He then walks around for a while, itching to get into the action. What did he do? “I am bowling now,” he said, taking the ball from the captain. The first ball reached the batsman on the fourth bounce, and so did the rest of balls in the over. He finally ran back to his mother, disappointed but clearly showing his passion for the game.
