Arjun gave ample signs of his cricketing genes turning in an all-round performance at the district level school tournament. Unlike his legendary father, Arjun bats left handed. He looked elegant in his knock of 45 to emerge as the top scorer in his team’s tally of 112 runs. Executing some brilliant shots, he did show glimpses of his father’s batting style and stroke play with a few typical hits to the fence.

Junior Tendulkar shows hints of his father’s style in a school cricket match. The 12-year-old plays a leg side shots, the same venue at Azad Maidan, Mumbai – where his dad Sachin put on 664 runs with Vinod Kambli in a 1988 Harris Shield match.
