Mumbai Indians (MI) may hand Arjun Tendulkar his long-awaited debut in a high-pressure setting as they prepare to face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2025. The match, set to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, will decide who meets Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final.
MI’s preparations have been shaken by an injury to their experienced pacer Richard Gleeson, who hurt himself during the final over of the Eliminator against Gujarat Titans. With his participation now uncertain, team management is exploring replacement options.
Arjun Tendulkar, a left-arm medium pacer and the son of cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar, has emerged as a strong contender to fill the void. His inclusion could bring a fresh dimension to MI’s bowling attack, particularly with the added pressure and strategic demands of a knockout game.
All eyes will be on the team sheet as MI decides whether to introduce Arjun on one of the biggest stages in the tournament.
