MI vs SRH, IPL 2023: Arjun Tendulkar mocked on Twitter for his bowling pace; see the reactions

Arjun Tendulkar made his IPL 2023 debut yesterday night, helping the Mumbai Indians to their third straight victory in Hyderabad! Arjun Tendulkar, Sachin Tendulkar’s son, has a lot of pressure on him to prove he’s not just riding on his father’s coattails. He made his IPL debut against KKR the previous game, and in his second game against SRH, he developed into an outstanding death bowler, defending 14 runs and claiming his first wicket in a single over. But that’s not all: observant online users couldn’t help but notice his unusually quick run-up, resulting in some humorous memes on Twitter.

Without a question, the online community seemed to be having a great time mocking the left-arm seamer’s bowling style and action! They can’t get enough of his fast run-up, with some remarking that it appears he’s going to bowl at a lightning speed of 140+, but he actually bowls at a much slower pace of 120. The memes and quips are pouring in, transforming Arjun’s run-up into an appropriate memefest!

After all, who knew that a bowler’s run-up could be so entertaining?

Arjun Tendulkar takes a long run up like he's gonna bowl at 140+. And ends up bowling 120 lol.

Putting aside the jokes, Arjun Tendulkar actually won hearts when he was tasked with defending 20 runs in the final over for MI. The 23-year-old kept his cool and executed his strategy flawlessly, with his wide yorkers challenging the SRH batsmen. To top it all off, he got his maiden IPL wicket by dismissing Bhuvneshwar Kumar, which elicited a joyful celebration from skipper Rohit Sharma and everyone on and off the pitch. Arjun’s brilliant over contributed to MI’s exciting triumph over the hosts, highlighting the burgeoning star in him who has much more to offer in the future!
