Before the start of the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026), an interesting video has emerged from the camp of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Arjun Tendulkar, son of great batsman Sachin Tendulkar, will now be seen in the jersey of Lucknow. The conversation between Arjun and team captain Rishabh Pant during the practice session has made it clear that Arjun is not only following his father’s footsteps but is also handling his legacy very well.

During the training camp of LSG, a deep bonding was seen between Rishabh Pant and Arjun Tendulkar. While Pant assured the young player of all possible help, he was stunned to see Arjun’s dedication. Arjun told that the very next day of his marriage, he had come out on the field sweating with the legendary Yuvraj Singh. However, the most exciting turn of the conversation came when the topic of bat weight came up. Arjun’s revelation surprised Pant and once again brought back memories of the Master Blaster in the corridors of cricket.

Rishabh Pant surprised by Arjun Tendulkar’s words?

During practice, when Rishabh Pant asked Arjun Tendulkar the weight of his bat, Pant was shocked to hear the answer. Arjun told that he plays with a bat of 1220 grams. This weight is about 500 grams more than Pant’s own bat. When Pant expressed surprise and asked the advantage of the heavy bat, Arjun said smilingly, ‘The advantage of the heavy bat is that you just touch the ball and it flies like a rocket. I don’t even think about a bat weighing less than 1200 grams.

In this conversation, Arjun mentioned his father Sachin Tendulkar and said that he used to use a heavier bat than him. According to Arjun, Sachin Tendulkar used to play with a bat of 1310 to 1315 grams. It is noteworthy that Sachin Tendulkar was famous for using the heaviest bat throughout his career compared to the players of his era.
