Watch: Arjun Tendulkar Troubles Shikhar Dhawan with a Well Directed Bouncer
Oct 21, 2017 at 6:35 PM
Team India is all set to continue their winning streak once they take on New Zealand in the three-match ODI series starting tomorrow at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Men in Blue have played some terrific brand of cricket in the recent past, and for New Zealand to stage an upset, they have to play out of their skins as the host team looks a formidable one on paper. Against a top-ranked Australian side, the Men in Blue were at their imperious best and never allowed the mighty Aussies to force their way back into the series.
With the ODI series slated to begin in a few hours time, Team India has been sweating out in the nets of Wankhede where the legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun Tendulkar is serving as a net bowler. He has been rising the ranks steadily, and at the age of 18, he can consistently clock 130-135 km/hr. After troubling English wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow with a ferocious Yorker in the England nets, it was the turn of the Indian batsmen to face the magic of Jr. Tendulkar.
In a video shared by the BCCI, Arjun Tendulkar was seen bowling with venom to Shikhar Dhawan, and one of those deliveries troubled him. It was a well-directed bouncer which narrowly missed Dhawan as he attempted a hook. He couldn’t make any contact as the ball skidded along after pitching. Meanwhile, the other Indian batsmen were also having a ball at the nets.

Former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni unleashed his array of strokes and smashed a couple of deliveries out of the park. It was a pleasant sight to see Dhoni middling the ball to perfection. The video started off with Kohli middling a couple of deliveries followed by a few friendly drives and cuts by Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma. Hardik Pandya too smashed a few deliveries to prepare himself for the series starting tomorrow.
