Mumbai boy Arjun Tendulkar, 23, made his first-class debut for Goa a memorable one as he registered maiden century (120, 16x4, 2x6) against Rajasthan on Day Two of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group ‘C’ encounter in Porvorim on Wednesday. In the process, Arjun emulated his father—former India batting great Sachin Tendulkar—who also scored a hundred on his first-class debut against Gujarat in 1988 when he was just 15.
Arjun came in to bat at No. 7 and was unbeaten on four on Day One. He and one-drop Suyash Prabhudessai (212, 29x4) came together and stitched a 221-run partnership for the fifth wicket which helped Goa post 493-8 at stumps on the second day. Arjun who played age group cricket and a couple of T20 games for Mumbai earlier, moved to Goa this season. Arjun’s coach Rajesh Sanil was not surprised to see his ward scoring a century in Ranji debut.
