Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun continues to impress in junior cricket, with his latest achievement being a century in an under-16 domestic match. Arjun hit 106 off 156 balls in a Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) under-16 Payyade Trophy match at the Gymkhana ground that is named after Tendulkar senior. In a match between the Sunil Gavaskar XI and Rohit Sharma XI, Arjun – playing for the Gavaskar XI – hit 16 fours and 2 sixes in his hundred which helped his team reach 218. Arjun, who bats left-handed and also bowls seam-up stuff, has in the past got tips from Pakistan legend and Kolkata Knight Riders' bowling coach Wasim Akram who was seen guiding Sachin's son during the last Indian Premier League season. The Payyade Trophy is also a selection trial for Mumbai's under-16 cricketers.
