Arjun Tendulkar emulates father Sachin after debut first-class century
Arjun Tendulkar, son of India great Sachin Tendulkar, emulated his father with a maiden century on his first-class debut after posting 120 for Goa against Rajasthan.
The 23-year-old, who mostly plays as a fast bowler, brought up three-figures on the second day of his side's game at Goa Cricket Association Academy Ground.
His efforts came as part of a 221-run partnership with Suyash Prabhudessai, who hit 212 for his own milestone, a maiden double-century.
Their combination helped fire Goa to 493-8 at the close of play on the second day of their clash with Rajasthan.
It sees Arjun echo the senior Tendulkar, who famously scored 100 not out for Bombay as a 15-year-old in 1988, in his first-class debut.
That first century was the prelude to a stunning career that saw the India batter establish himself as one of the sport's all-time greats, with exactly 100 international tons upon his retirement.
Arjun, who was Goa's leading wicket taker during the Vijay Hazare Trophy this season with a 32.37 average, is also a member of the Mumbai Indians' IPL squad, though he is yet to feature for them.
