Sachin Tendulkar's statement on son: If you love cricket then work hard, I have nothing to do with MI's team selection

Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Cricket, has given a big statement about his son's cricket career. Sachin says that Arjun is very much in love with this game, so he plays cricket. However, I tell him that the road is difficult.

Sachin said - nothing to do with the selection

Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun Tendulkar did not get a chance to play even once in 28 matches of Mumbai Indians in two seasons of IPL (IPL 2021 and 2022). Time and again the news kept coming that now Arjun might get a chance, but that opportunity never came.

Regarding this, Arjun's father Sachin told that he has nothing to do with the selection, but he always explains to the son that his path is not easy but very difficult and challenging. The 22-year-old Arjun has played only two T20Is for the home team Mumbai in his career so far.

This time Arjun was sold for 30 lakhs

Sachin Tendulkar, who was associated with Mumbai Indians as a mentor, also made it clear that he does not interfere in selection matters. It is worth noting that Arjun, a left-arm fast bowler, and left-handed batsman, was joined by five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians.

In 2021, Arjun was associated with the franchise at a base price of 20 lakhs, and in 2022 he was bought by the team for 30 lakhs. He did not get a chance to play in a single match in two seasons of the league.

What did Sachin say when Arjun didn't get a chance?

On a show, when Sachin Tendulkar was asked if he would have liked to see Arjun play this year, he said, "That's a different question. It doesn't matter what I'm thinking or what I'm feeling.

The season is over (for Mumbai Indians) and with Arjun, I have always said that the road will be challenging.

Sachin is the only player to play 200 test matches

Sachin Tendulkar, the only cricketer to have played 200 Test matches, further said in his conversation with Arjun, "You started playing cricket because you love cricket, keep doing it, keep working hard and you will get results. As far as selection is concerned. So, I leave it to the team management."

Sachin says, "If we talk about selection, I never involve myself in selection. I leave all these things to the team management because that's what I've always done."

Sara has expressed hope of their brother's time coming

In the last match of the season this year too, his sister Sara shared a story about when Arjun was not given a chance in the team. In this story, Arjun was seen near the boundary line with a bottle of water. The song 'Apna Time Aayega' was playing in the background. Fans expected that Arjun would be given a chance against the Delhi Capitals in the last match of the season. Arjun was also seen marking the bowling run-up on the field before the toss. However, after the toss, it became clear during the team announcement that Arjun will not be given a place in the playing 11 of Mumbai Indians in this match as well.
