Vijay Hazare Trophy: All-rounder Arjun Tendulkar, who represented his home side Mumbai in the domestic circuit before the 2022-23 season, faced them in the league stage match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Wednesday. Representing his present side, Goa, it was the first instance when Arjun bowled against Mumbai in a competitive game at the Jaipuria Vidyalaya Ground in Jaipur.

Arjun's Bowling Figures Against Mumbai

It was a forgettable outing for the left-arm pacer as he got smashed for 78 in his eight-over spell against Mumbai. Mumbai opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was making a comeback after illness, smoked a couple of boundaries against Arjun as the 26-year-old gave away 47 runs in his first six overs.

Arjun was brought in for a second spell, but the juggernaut of Sarfaraz Khan was too much to handle for any Mumbai batter, let alone the left-arm pacer.

Mumbai posted a massive total of 444/8 against Goa in their VHT match, driven by a sensational power-hitting display. The platform was built by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who in his return to Vijay Hazare Trophy, scored a steady 46 runs before narrowly missing out on his half-century. His solid start was complemented by Musheer Khan, who anchored the middle overs with a well-made 60.

However, the innings will be remembered for Sarfaraz Khan's onslaught. Sarfaraz played a breathtaking knock, reaching his century in just 56 balls and eventually finishing with a staggering 157 runs off only 75 deliveries. His explosive innings included nine fours and 14 sixes, propelling Mumbai well past the 400-mark and leaving the Goa bowlers with no answers.
