**Hyderabad, India** – Arjun Tendulkar, son of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, had a disappointing start to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 tournament. Playing for Goa against Mumbai in Hyderabad, he conceded 48 runs in four wicketless overs and managed only 9 runs off 4 balls with the bat. Goa ultimately lost the match by 26 runs. This performance comes ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction in Riyadh, where Arjun’s prospects remain uncertain after being released by Mumbai Indians.

In contrast, Shreyas Iyer, recently released by KKR despite leading them to the IPL title, showcased exceptional form, smashing a breathtaking 130* off just 57 balls for Mumbai. His innings, featuring 11 fours and 10 sixes, propelled Mumbai to a challenging 250/4. Iyer’s impressive performance solidifies his position as a highly sought-after player heading into the auction, where he’s expected to command a significant contract. Arjun’s performance, however, casts a shadow over his IPL future after a lackluster 2023 season with Mumbai Indians.
