Mumbai Indians failed to function as a team in the first two games of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. Rohit Sharma and Co lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first game at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
After that, the five-time IPL champions lost to Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. They might have started their campaign with back-to-back defeats but they made a stellar rebound in the next three games.
Mumbai Indians made a bold statement by winning a hat-trick of games. As things stand, Mumbai Indians are sixth on the table with a Net Run Rate of -0.164 and they still have plenty of work to do in the league stage.
Tilak Varma tells Arjun Tendulkar “You’re the Yorker king in our team”
Meanwhile, Tilak Varma, the leading run-scorer for Mumbai Indians this season passed on a wonderful compliment to his teammate, Arjun Tendulkar. In a video posted on Mumbai Indians TV, Tilak Varma could be seen sitting right next to Arjun Tendulkar.
The 20-year-old told Arjun Tendulkar “You’re the Yorker king in our team”. The youngster’s statement on Arjun Tendulkar has been doing the rounds on social media portals.
Tilak Varma’s statement comes after Arjun Tendulkar made the much-needed impact in the last over against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
When Sunrisers Hyderabad required 20 runs to win in the last over, Arjun Tendulkar bowled impeccable yorkers to the SRH batters and kept them silent while also taking his maiden IPL wicket. Arjun Tendulkar got rid of Bhuvneshwar Kumar to open his account in the IPL.
Meanwhile, Arjun Tendulkar will be looking forward to doing well for the MI franchise in the upcoming games and help the team as much as possible. Mumbai Indians will take on Punjab Kings at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on April 22, Saturday.

Is Arjun Tendulkar really unplayable in the powerplay Or is it the brand Tendulkar that is restricting Indian players to go hard at him. He is not pacy, not too much swing like bhuvi, not like boult with pace and swing. But still he is economical in powerplay. Baffling????
