Arjun’s Cricket Journey and Personal Life

Sachin has also acted as a mentor for Arjun, following his growth closely on the field. The left-arm bowler, who can bat as well, has played 17 first-class matches, taking 37 wickets, and 18 List A matches, claiming 25 wickets. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), he represents Mumbai Indians (MI). Mumbai drafted him in 2021 for ₹20 lakh, and then retained him in 2022 for ₹30 lakh. He has played five IPL matches to date and has taken four wickets overall.

Off the field, Arjun recently proposed to Saaniya Chandok, a businesswoman from Mumbai. Saaniya graduated in 2020 from the London School of Economics and launched her own pet spa, Mr Paws, in 2022, providing grooming and skincare services for pets. With both his cricketing career and romantic life doing well, Arjun continues to make his family proud, every step of the way guided, supported and encouraged by his father, Sachin Tendulkar.
