It is normally assumed that sons follow in the footsteps of their fathers to take the legacy ahead.

When it comes to legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, the whole country is ready to put the burden of expectations on his 11-year-old son, Arjun.

However, the junior Tendulkar is yet to face the burden on his own. Right now he is enjoying his game along with his team mates.

When all eyes are set on the Master Blaster’s performance in India’s first tie against Bangladesh on Friday, Arjun will be testing himself in the Cadence Trophy under-13 cricket tournament in Mundhwa, donning the colours of MIG Cricket Club.

Like his father, he was the centre of attraction for spectators and players alike on Thursday. Though he failed to contribute with his bat (5 off 8), he was active on the field when MIG beat Shivaji Park Gymkhana by 52 runs.

“He is a fun-loving guy like everyone, but when he walks down the field he stays focused, be it batting or fielding. Sometimes he opens up during drink breaks, but never talks to anybody during the match,” said one of his team-mates.

“His body language resembles his father’s a lot, but we feel his batting stance and playing style is far different,” the team-mate adds.

When asked about their experience of meeting the legendary batsman during practice session, they cheerfully said, “Yes, we meet him often. He usually comes on Sundays to watch the practice. He is a very down-to-earth person and we feel no pressure
talking to him. He gives us some batting and
fitness tips, which we follow meticulously.”

Adding to this they said, “We have observed a funny thing about Arjun. Whenever Sir (Sachin) comes to watch his game, he plays a tight defensive game, otherwise he likes to play an attacking game and hits random shots.”
