Yograj Singh: Arjun Tendulkar will be seen playing for Lucknow Supergiants in IPL 2026 but he has come into the news even before the league starts. The reason for this is the statement he gave on Ashwin. Ashwin had said that Lucknow Supergiants will not play a single match to Arjun Tendulkar this season because they have a full army of fast bowlers. Yograj Singh, who has also been Arjun’s coach, has given his reaction on this statement of Ashwin. He termed Ashwin’s statement as nonsense and said that he should know what to talk about someone. Yograj even said that if Arjun Tendulkar stays with him for 6 months, he will make him the best batsman in the world and if it does not happen, he will get his beard cut.
Yograj got angry on Ashwin’s statement
Yograj Singh replied to Ashwin and said, ‘Ashwin is talking nonsense. Whoever Ashwin is, he should know what to say about someone. Sitting on TV and talking, he can’t do this, can’t do that. Hey, what are you brother?’ Yograj further said, ‘When Arjun was here, I told Yuvi that you people are focusing on the wrong thing about Arjun Tendulkar. Arjun is not a bowler at all, he has a problem with his spine, his arm swings at 45 degrees. I told his Goa coach, what are you guys doing, this player hits sixes and fours, if you are not able to do it then you send him to me. Yograj further said, ‘I challenge that if Arjun Tendulkar spends 6 months with me, he will defeat all the batsmen in the world. If this doesn’t happen then I will get my beard cut. This is how I do my work.
Why is it difficult for Arjun to get a chance?
Arjun Tendulkar has been transferred from Mumbai Indians to Lucknow Supergiants and there are many fast bowlers in this team. Lucknow’s bowling attack includes fast bowlers like Mayank Yadav, Enrique Norkhia, Mohammed Shami, Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan and Akash Singh. In such a situation, it is a bit difficult for Arjun to get a chance. Let us tell you that Arjun Tendulkar has played only five matches so far, in which he has 3 wickets to his name. In this he has proved to be very expensive.
