MI vs PBKS: Arjun Tendulkar Bowls Joint-Most Expensive Over of IPL 2023

MI vs PBKS: Mumbai Indians’ young pacer Arjun Tendulkar had a terrible outing in the MI vs PBKS game on April 22. Arjun Tendulkar bowled the joint-most expensive over of IPL 2023 as he leaked 31 runs in the 16th over of Punjab Kings’ innings against Harpreet Singh and Sam Curran.

Punjab Kings had a score of 118-4 after 15 overs which was clearly less than what they would have expected on a flat Wankhede wicket. Mumbai Indians’ skipper Rohit Sharma called Arjun Tendulkar to bowl the 16th over as the PBKS batters looked to accelerate their innings.

The MI pacer started off with a slot delivery outside off as Sam Curran smashed it right from the middle of the bat over the long-off boundary to get a maximum. Arjun then lost his radar and bowled a wide delivery.

Arjun Tendulkar again bowled a full delivery outside off as Curran swung his bat and got an outside edge which flew over the short third-man fielder for a boundary. On the next delivery, Sam Curran took a single as Harpreet Singh got the strike.

The left-arm pacer again chose to bowl in the arc as Harpreet Singh loft it over mid-off for a four. Moreover, Arjun missed his length and bowled a full toss which was deposited over the square leg boundary by Harpreet for a maximum.

The next delivery slipped off Arjun Tendulkar’s hand and reached the batsman around shoulder height. Furthermore, Harpreet Singh got his glove to it as the ball went over the wicketkeeper and reached the fence. Tim David then came in to have a word with the young pacer.

The MI pacer then went for a slower short ball as Harpreet Singh pulled it and the ball went past the fielder at short fine for another boundary. Arjun Tendulkar bowled the joint-most expensive over of IPL 2023 as he conceded 31 runs in the 16th over of Punjab Kings’ innings and equaled the dubious feat of GT pacer Yash Dayal.
