Arjun Tendulkar
Though batting icon Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun Tendulkar is representing Goa in domestic cricket, it is learnt that he is keen to play in the upcoming T20 Mumbai League (TML).
Arjun, 26, a left-arm pace-bowling all-rounder, has played 24 first-class matches so far. He earlier played for Mumbai Indians in the IPL and is currently part of the Lucknow Super Giants squad. Tendulkar Jr and wicketkeeper-batter Siddhant Aadhattrao, who represented Puducherry last season (2025-26), have both registered for the TML. It is learnt that the BCCI has approved their participation in the Season Four auction pool.
Arjun's base price is Rs 2 lakh, while Aadhattrao's is Rs 5 lakh. Tendulkar Jr was bought by Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburb for Rs 5 lakh ahead of the 2019 edition, while Aadhattrao played for the Suryakumar Yadav-led Triumph Knights Mumbai North East last season.
Former Mumbai Ranji Trophy- winning captain and wicketkeeper-batter Aditya Tare, 38, who represented Uttarakhand in 2024-25, is also in the fray, having registered for the auction with a base price of R2 lakh. The TML players' auction will be held on May 2, while the fourth edition of the tournament begins on June 1.
Meanwhile, Aadhattrao, 34, who previously represented Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy, opted to play for Pondicherry last season. However, it is learnt that he will not be available for Pondicherry in the 2026-27 domestic season and has already obtained a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Cricket Association of Pondicherry.
