In the IPL 2025 Mega Auction held in Jeddah, Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, was sold to Mumbai Indians for a price of ₹30 lakh

Despite having a base price set at ₹30 lakh, no franchise opted to bid for him during the auction as he went unsold. However, later on, MI made a comeback from the unsold list and acquired him at his base price.

Arjun Tendulkar had been a part of the Mumbai Indians (MI) squad in previous seasons but was not retained for this auction. His performance in the IPL has been underwhelming; he played only five matches across four seasons, taking just three wickets at an economy rate of approximately 10 runs per over.

Arjun's recent form in domestic cricket was mixed; he performed well in some matches but had a particularly poor outing against Mumbai, conceding 48 runs in four overs without taking a wicket. This performance just before the auction may have further diminished his appeal to franchises looking for reliable bowlers.

Currently, Arjun is playing for Goa in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and has shown glimpses of potential in domestic competitions. However, his IPL prospects remain uncertain as he continues to seek opportunities to showcase his skills on a larger stage. The absence of bids for him in this auction raises questions about his future in the league and whether he will be able to secure a spot with any team going forward.

In summary, Arjun Tendulkar's journey through the IPL has been challenging, and his unsold status in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction reflects both his past performances and the competitive nature of franchise cricket.
