How did Arjun Tenudlkar build his reputation in cricket?

Arjun has built his own reputation in the sport. He began his journey in Mumbai before moving to Goa, where he became a key player who can both bowl and bat. Back in 2021, the Mumbai Indians signed him for 20 lakh during the IPL auction, though a physical injury prevented him from playing that year.

Later, Mumbai Indians bought him again for 30 lakh during the 2022 auction. Arjun finally made his IPL debut in 2023 in a match against the Kolkata Knight Riders. He took two more wickets during that season, and Mumbai Indians decided to keep him for 2024. Before the 2026 season began, Arjun was moved from Mumbai Indians to the Lucknow Super Giants as part of a player trade.

Aside from his successes in multi-day matches, Arjun has also performed well in other formats. He has taken 26 wickets in 24 one-day (List A) matches. Additionally, he has dismissed 35 players in 29 short-format (T20) games so far.
