The Indian team is in London at the moment training ahead of their two-match T20I series in Ireland. The Men in Blue will play the two matches on June 27 and 29 both at Dublin. The Board of Control for Cricket in India posted a picture on social media today, that of head coach of the team Ravi Shastri sharing his wisdom but the recipient was not a member of the India senior team but India U19 select Arjun Tendulkar.

Arjun is in London training and he was present at the nets when Virat Kohli and company got in for their first session on the tour of UK. He has in the past bowled at the Indians as well as other international players and is an efficient left-arm pacer. Arjun has been a consistent all-round performer in age-group cricket for Mumbai as well as at the zonal level.

It isn’t clear if the youngster bowled at the Indian batsmen in the nets but from the images, it is pretty clear that Shastri had some advice for him.

Here is BCCI’s post:

Arjun in the recent past

Recently he was rewarded for his notable efforts with a maiden call-up in the India U19 team for the tour of Sri Lanka. Arjun from a very young age chose to follow his father’s footsteps and has been playing serious cricket. He had given up on a contract in the Mumbai T20 League to train better and work on his remodelled action before playing any such competition.

He has had his share of troubles and faced injury problems as well. “His body has grown very quickly in the last couple of years – you can see the difference in his growth almost every couple of months, and perhaps as a result of that, has suffered two back-to-back stress fractures, which saw him ruled out for almost a year. He’s gone through a lot. Every ball of his is monitored by his coach Atul Gaikwad, who has been working closely on his bowling action,” TOI had quoted a source as saying.

Every time he is picked in a team there is always a segment that points out at his last name, Arjun can only shut down all the critics with his performance and he would want to deliver in Sri Lanka.
