Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun made his debut in Ranji Trophy representing Goa in the Elite Group C match against Rajasthan, as per India Today.
The left-arm pacer moved to Goa after not getting too many chances in Mumbai.
He has only just 7 List A matches along with 9 T20s for Mumbai and Goa.

This was also his first-class debut.
Arjun had been part of MI’s squad in the IPL but never played.
Mahela Jayawardene, MI’s head coach, said that Arjun needed to improve in many areas to make it into the side.

The MCA provided an NoC to Arjun who had applied for one.
“He wanted to play for Goa in the forthcoming season, so he approached us. We told him to first get an NoC from MCA, which he got today. We will have his fitness and skill test going ahead. Like many players Arjun wanted to play for Goa but a process will be followed before we pick him,” said Vipul Phadke, the Goa Cricket Association secretary according to India Today.
