Arjun Tendulkar, son of Sachin Tendulkar, has been selected for the under-14 West Zone league matches, which will be played from 20th January to 1st February.

Arjun Tendulkar was born on 24th September in 1999. Arjun made his national level debut in January 2011 for the Cadence Trophy in Pune, and has been in the news since then. He scored an impressive 65 of 39 balls for the same tournament this year against PCMC Varroc Vengsarkar CA. He is often seen going to the stadium to watch and cheer for his father.
