Arjun Tendulkar’s girlfriend

English cricketers Danielle Wyatt and Arjun Tendulkar have been seen together before. They first met each other in 2009 when she was training at the MCC Cricket Academy at the Main Cricket Ground in London – Sachin and his son Arjun were also present at the time. Danielle had previously mentioned in an interview that she once pitched to the then 10-year-old Arjun online. Many people thought that the two of them were dating.

However, this was just a rumor as Danielle recently announced her engagement to long-time girlfriend Georgia Hodge on social media.

Arjun Tendulkar’s cricket career

In 2018, Arjun Tendulkar played a few Test matches for the Indian U19 team. He scored only 14 runs and took 3 wickets in two Test matches. As he was over the age limit at the start of the U19 World Cup, he was unable to participate. Arjun was selected to represent the Mumbai senior team in India’s premier T20 tournament, the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2020-21, which was held in January 2021. This was one of Mumbai’s worst seasons, as he took 3 wickets and scored 3 runs in two matches.

Arjun had worked with WV Raman, the interim coach for the Indian team’s tour of Sri Lanka, while Rahul Dravid travelled to England with the India A team. Arjun attended the NCA residential camp in Dharamsala and impressed with his pace and accuracy in Himachal Pradesh during the Academy Games. He rose through the ranks quickly thanks to his performances in age-group cricket for Mumbai, where he continued to improve his pace and skills. Arjun played five matches for the Mumbai Under-19 team in the 2017-18 Cooch Behar Trophy, taking 19 wickets, which was his last appearance in an evaluation match.

In January 2017, he played for the CCI XI at Bradman Oval in Adelaide, where he scored a quick 48 runs as an opening batsman in his debut match, besides taking 4 wickets. He was also selected in the MCC team to play against the Namibian Under-19 team in England in July 2017. He stood out as the leader of the MCC, taking 4 wickets and thoroughly demolishing the opposition.

Arjun has remained calm, easing into the Under-19 team while carrying the literal and metaphorical weight of fast bowling and his father’s legacy on his shoulders. He seems unfazed by the spotlight being on him; for example, he completely overshadowed his colleagues by taking his first wicket and first out in a youth Test match in July 2018. But it’s part and parcel of legacy. If he eventually makes it to the Indian national team, the expectations of a billion Indians and the legacy of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar may put more pressure on him than his legendary father ever did.
