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.
