Arjun Tendulkar was bought by Mumbai Indians (MI) for Rs 30 lakh in the Indian Premier League 2022 (IPL 2022) mega auction in Bengaluru on Sunday. Son of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun had been picked up by Mumbai Indians for Rs 20 lakh in 2021. This time, Arjun attracted two bidders — Gujarat Titans bidding for his services for a fee of Rs 25 lakh after MI’s initial bid of Rs 20 lakh. However, MI returned with a bid of Rs 30 lakh that proved enough to acquire the 22-year-old cricketer’s services.
Meanwhile, for the final set of the mega auction on day 2, IPL auctioneer Hugh Edmeades returned to the table. Earlier, Edmeades had collapsed on stage midway during the auction proceedings on Saturday.
