Arjun Tendulkar IPL Debut: At the toss today before Mumbai Indians (MI) take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), MI announced Arjun Tendulkar’s much awaited debut. Arjun’s debut coincidentally comes exactly 10 years after his father the great Sachin Tendulkar retired from IPL. Sara Tendulkar was also seen cheering her brother from the stands as Suryakumar Yadav came in as the stand-in captain at the toss. Surya won the toss and told Ravi Shastri the reason behind Rohit Sharma’s omission was a stomach bug and that he could come in as the impact sub. Follow IPL 2023 LIVE updates with InsideSport.IN
