Arjun Tendulkar who is the son of legendary former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, smashed a century in his debut game in the Ranji Trophy. Batting for Goa, the 23-year-old all-rounder struck a fabulous century against Rajasthan.
His knock of 120 runs came in 207 balls and it was peppered with 16 fours and 2 sixes. Arjun Tendulkar emulated his father’s feat; Sachin had scored a century during his debut Ranji game in 1988. This knock came against Gujarat and Sachin was only 15 years old back then.
Arjun Tendulkar orchestrated a 221-run partnership with Suyash Prabhudessai and powered Goa to a humongous total of 493-8. This is the score after Day 2 and Goa is yet to declare their innings. Number 3 batter Suyash smashed a double century and his knock of 212 runs was packed with 29 fours.
