The left-arm medium-fast bowler Arjun Tendulkar took the internet on fire when he was picked up by Mumbai Indians at the base price of 20 lakhs. Son of the great cricket player Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun Tendulkar was selected after playing 2 matches for Mumbai Indians in recently concluded 2021 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Interestingly, Twitter was on fire even before the franchise chose to pick him up. Another player named “Sachin Baby” was picked up by RCB and to that, people didn’t lose a second of this opportunity to milk.
It’d be no surprise if we see the memes of “Sachin Baby” for a few weeks now.
Netizens, however, went crazy after the selection of Arjun Tendulkar in the leading franchise even after it was hugely speculated.
A guy named sagar joked about the popularity of Arjun Tendulkar and tweeted,

To be noted, Arjun Tendulkar is trending at no.3 on Twitter for the same.
One Twitter use had already predicted the outcome way before the Mumbai Indians bought Arjun and said that he’d quit Twitter if someone else picks him.
If Arjun Tendulkar is purchased by any franchise other than Mumbai Indians in today's auction I'll quit twitter.#IPLAuction2021
