‘Sachin had tears in his eyes’: Ravi ShastrI, Ian Bishop reveal Sachin’s reaction on Arjun Tendulkar’s debut

Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun Tendulkar on Sunday made his IPL debut against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Arjun bowled two overs and returned with figures of 0/17 in a match that ended with Mumbai emerging victorious five wickets, despite KKR’s Venkatesh Iyer smashing a century.
Speaking on Arjun’s debut, former West Indies cricketer and commentator Ian Bishop revealed that Sachin was in tears seeing son play in the IPL.
“The floor manager had a word with Sachin, I won’t call out his name, the floor manager, he mentioned that he loved the fact that Arjun is now playing in the IPL. Sachin had tears in his eyes. And he said, you know when I bowled the first time in the IPL, my first over went for five. Arjun’s first over went for five as well. So Sachin had that in his mind all the way through,” Bishop said on-air.
Former India Head Coach Ravi Shastri also added an interesting remark on Tendulkar and said, “He will be tense though. Every time Arjun gets the ball, Bish (Bishop) mentions about him remembering. He will forget a few innings of his but he will not forget one over. And that he’s bowled. He will remember every over.”

Meanwhile, Arjun on Tuesday claimed his maiden IPL wicket dismissing Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Tendulkar bowled a brilliant 20th over in extreme pressure as Mumbai Indians defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad 14 runs for their third straight win here.
