After getting bit by a dog prior to Tuesday’s IPL 2023 match between the Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium, Arjun Tendulkar’s comeback to the Mumbai Indians Playing XI is likely to be further postponed. Tendulkar Jr., who last competed for MI against Gujarat Titans on April 25, is set to miss tonight’s match after admitting to the strange occurrence in a video published by LSG on their Twitter account. The location of Arjun’s brief escapade is still unknown.

In his four IPL 2023 games for MI, Arjun took up three wickets, with his best being 1/9 against the Titans. He was, however, benched after only four games after being dropped out of MI’s starting lineup in favour of Akash Madhwal and Kumar Kartikeya. Prior to this unexpected incident, Arjun’s chances of rejoining the XI looked good despite Tilak Varma’s injury.

Arjun Tendulkar made his long-awaited debut in IPL vs KKR in 2023

Arjun made his debut against the Kolkata Knight Riders, and after two overs, he had a respectable 1/17. He took his first IPL wicket against Sunrisers Hyderabad, outdueling Bhuvneshwar Kumar and holding the opposition to 21 runs in the final over. The wickets propelled him to fame, with everyone noticing him, including Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Sunil Gavaskar, Brett Lee, and many more. But in the next match against Punjab Kings, Arjun was crushed for 48 runs, giving up 31 in one over. Many were forced to turn around and believe Arjun wasn’t ready yet as a result. He had his first opportunity to bat in his brief IPL career against the Titans, where he casually smoked a six before being benched.

MI is presently ranked third on the points table with 14 after bouncing back well in the second half of the competition. They are followed by LSG on 13, and a victory tonight for either team promises to intensify the chaos in the middle of the card.

Here are some of the funniest memes shared by fans:
