Path is going to be challenging: Sachin tells son Arjun
Follow UsArjun was picked for 30 lakhs by Mumbai Indians in the mega auctions but failed to feature in the playing XI for 14 league matches
Arjun Tendulkar, son of Sachin Tendulkar, was part of the Mumbai Indians outfit for the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. However, the 22-year old failed to secure a place in the playing XI for the 14 league matches.
The batting great has advised the youngster that the path will be challenging for him and he needs to put in the hard yards.
"This is a different question. What I am thinking or what I feel is not important. The season is already over," Tendulkar said at a show 'SachInsight' when asked whether he would have liked to watch Arjun play this year.
"And my conversation with Arjun has always been that the path is going to be challenging, it is going to be difficult. You started playing cricket because you are in love with cricket, continue to do so, continue to work hard and results will follow," he further added.
The 49-year old has been associated with Mumbai Indians as a mentor and made it clear that he does not interfere in selections.
"And if we speak about selection, I have never involved myself in selection. I leave all these things to the team management because that is how I have always functioned," Tendulkar stressed.
In his career so far, the 22-year-old Arjun has only played two T20 games for his domestic side Mumbai and featured in the 'T20 Mumbai' league.
