Mumbai Indians all-rounder Arjun Tendulkar revealed that he had a freak accident ahead of the IPL 2023 match between Lucknow Supergiants and Mumbai Indians at the Ekana Stadium on Tuesday. The MI all-rounder has played only a handful of matches this season after making his IPL debut last month.
IPL 2023 match no. 63, Arjun Tendulkar was seen telling the LSG players that he had been bitten by a dog on his bowling arm the day before. LSG player Yudhvir Singh asks Arjun Tendulkar, ‘How are you brother?’ To which Arjun Tendulkar replies, “A dog bit me, a day ago,” while showing his bowling hand.

Arjun Tendulkar, son of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, played 4 matches this season and took 3 wickets. The Mumbai all-rounder, who moved to Goa to play Ranji Trophy cricket last season, was bought by five-time IPL winners MI in the IPL 2023 auction for Rs 30 lakh.
Meanwhile, former India teammates Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir met and hugged each other ahead of their respective IPL teams’ clash on Tuesday evening. Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma on Monday walked up to Lucknow Super Giants Gautam Gambhir’s mentor and shook hands during a practice session at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. Rohit Sharma made his T20I debut during the 2007 T20 World Cup in South Africa, where Gambhir was playing as an opening batsman.
Gambhir, who was in news earlier this season due to a heated argument between him and Virat Kohli, was seen joking and smiling with Indian skipper Rohit Sharma in a video posted on the Twitter handle of LSG.
LSG and MI are placed next to each other in the points table, making the contest all the more exciting. MI are third with 14 points from seven wins and five losses. Whereas, LSG trail MI with 13 points, having lost five matches and won six.
Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians have never won an IPL match against LSG the two times the two sides have faced each other in the IPL so far.
