maniac Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Can’t give up on this kid. Has potential low on pace but has some zip to his bowling. have a feeling he will make it for those who missed his bowling please see below . Want to see him bat as I think this kid some batting swag too. Edited April 16, 2023 by maniac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniac Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) @express bowling @rkt.india @Suhaan @Mosher @MK55my thoughts are he was trying too hard to get swing and shape and cut down on pace in that process. He still got zip off the surface. While I don’t think he will ever be a 150 bowler he can easily up is speed to 135-140. Got natural seam movement. If his batting is as decent as I think it is and looking at him he comes across as a natural athlete. Something to work with here. Also has all the resources at his disposal.What are your thoughts? also knowing our seniors especially from the 90’s he will get advice to focus on line/length and swing than to go all out. His daddy obviously being the big daddy of all those seniors I won’t be surprised anyway that’s my assessment.

Texan Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Pretty poor bowler. He would have been nowhere close to the MI squad had he not been Sachin's son. I can see some international batsmen taking his bowling apart. At that pace, he has got to move the ball significantly, but I didn't see much of it. jf1gp_1, SandeepMotta, rollingstoned and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine all the advice in his head and the pressure. He still got the ball in right areas. Can’t write him off after this. Wasn’t the worst debut or player ever.

the don Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 His run up is too intense/fast. Needs a more rythmical and natural approach to the crease. MCcricket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not watch him much but feel he hasn't got any proper rhythm also run up doesn't match his pace. Probably needs to work with someone like gillespie or have county season.

BacktoCricaddict Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 It was amusing to see the people on either side of Sara Tendulkar telling her to be more conscious of the camera. Being a national hero's child cannot be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vijy Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 looked like tripe to me, but in ranjis he looked better. he needs to improve both bowling and batting by at least 50% to become int'l class. he is still somewhat young, so he can improve. nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His daddy obviously being the big daddy of all those seniors I won’t be surprised lol this made me laugh. He looks athletic. I have no idea why his speeds are so low. Get the feeling he ain’t pushing that much. Like at the time of release, something’s lacking with wrist snap and arm speed. His arm speed even looks visually slower. That might be an exaggeration though lol. I actually wanted to watch him bat. At this point that could be the easiest to ups-skill depending on his base level. maniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been in the extended squad for 3 years now and played his maiden game only yesterday. If Sachin's influence were so all pervasive, Arjun would have made it to the team a lot sooner. I don't think that Sachin is of the type who sifarish his kid into a starting XI. He plays fair and square. Sachin values integrity. I'd argue if Arjun were a random person with this level of talent, he'd just be some other trundler (currently), the infinite ones who dot the IPL and would not be under so much scrutiny and hence pressure. His inclusion would not need justification and perhaps he wouldn't feel so obliged to defend his family name.

Nikhil_cric Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 If he can bowl consistently in the 135 kph range like Vysakh atleast he'll have a decent career . At his current pace, there's no chance at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Wolf Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Arjun Tendulkar vs Yudhvir Singh sounds like a apt comparison. Both can bat & bowl pace. MI was the one who scouted Yudhvir too. Let's see how this IPL pans out for both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkt.india Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) With so much money at his disposal, SRT could have hired a better coach. He is running too fast in my opinion. Front foot collapses due to that. Edited April 17, 2023 by rkt.india Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortbread Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Thankfully oomph and zip cannot be quantified by a metric, but good to know he has plenty of it! Too early to judge as he's very young but looks fairly accurate. For his height and frame I expected that he'll be much quicker. Seems like a very regimental bowler than a pure natural pacer.

Throwaib_Chuckter Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Chill mates, too early to call him a dud. Lets wish him the best and see what he can make of the opportunities. Being a star cricketer's son isn't easy the pressure of expectations will be enormous. If anything it will be way more than what Sachin had on his debut.

singhvivek141 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Arjun has to work really hard, I know he has to encounter some unrealistic expectations...but there is no denying that being a son of a legend, he probably has got best of the facilities that a sportsperson can get. If he's a bowling allrounder, then he has to compete against Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Yudhvir Singh...and his initial impressions looks lot less than those 2 names. Hope he improves his pace and atleast bowl in 135-140 range. Mosher and express bowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniac Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 He could have been like Ambani’s son for the rest of his life in a similar shape. Looking at the hard yards he put in I see hope. I think even in Ranji he got better. you only know his flaws till he actually played a big game. He will keep getting better. I feel. cricspirit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are far too many similar left arm seamers floating around. None of them are good. Moshin Khan is the only one who looked promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
