Bollywood actor and Punjab Kings IPL franchise co-owner Preity Zinta has shown her support for Arjun Tendulkar, the son of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, following his debut in the IPL. Zinta congratulated the younger Tendulkar for his performance in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, which saw him defend 20 runs in the final over and take his first IPL wicket.

Zinta also condemned those who had mocked Tendulkar for his perceived nepotism, stating that his spot on the team was well-deserved. Meanwhile, Sachin Tendulkar expressed his happiness at seeing a Tendulkar finally take an IPL wicket, while also congratulating the Mumbai Indians on their win against SRH.

Mumbai Indians put up an impressive batting total of 192, with Cameron Green, Ishan Kishan, and Tilak Verma leading the charge.

Arjun Tendulkar’s performance in the IPL has been the subject of much debate due to his father’s stature in the cricketing world. However, his strong showing in the match against SRH has earned him praise from many quarters, including Zinta and his father.
