New Delhi: Legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar’s son, Arjun Tendulkar, was acquired by Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Arjun’s base price was ₹30 lakh, and Mumbai secured him at the same price. However, Arjun initially went unsold in the first round, but Mumbai decided to pick him up later. Following his selection by Mumbai, social media was flooded with memes.
Some fans believe it has now become predictable that Arjun Tendulkar will always be picked by Mumbai Indians, while others feel that the influence of Sachin Tendulkar, who is the mentor of the team, plays a role in the bidding. This marks the fourth consecutive season Arjun has been associated with Mumbai. His journey with the franchise began in 2021 when his base price was ₹20 lakh. However, he couldn’t play that season due to injury, forcing Mumbai to replace him with Simarjeet Singh.
Mumbai Indians have once again placed their trust in Arjun Tendulkar. His selection sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with users sharing memes and having fun at the announcement. Let’s take a look at how people reacted online after Arjun was picked…

Arjun Tendulkar made his IPL debut in the 2023 season during a match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). He grabbed headlines when he claimed his first IPL wicket against Sunrisers Hyderabad, dismissing Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Arjun played a crucial role in Mumbai’s 14-run victory in that game. In the 2023 season, he managed to take three wickets overall.
