31 runs in 1 over. Arjun Tendulkar of MI becomes a part of an unwanted tally.
At Wankhede Stadium on Saturday in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Mumbai Indians' Youngster Arjun Tendulkar took his debut wicket against Punjab Kings in front of the home fans. He also ended up being included in an unfavourable record. With his 16th over, Arjun delivered the second-most costly over by a MI bowler in the IPL after giving up 31 runs. Daniel Sams is ranked #1 after giving up 35 runs to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022. Pawan Suyal against Royal Challengers Bangalore (2014), Alzarri Joseph against Rajasthan Royals (2019), and Mitchell McClenaghan against PBKS (2017) all let up 28 runs, tying them for third place.In Saturday's game, Arjun's over proved to be significant as it switched the momentum in Punjab Kings' direction.Even though they lost the wicket of Matthew Short (11) rather early in the innings, PBKS got off to a fast start. Prabhsimran Singh and Atharva Taide, two excellent young Indian players, made some exquisite strokes that kept the PBKS scoreboard moving. In 5.3 overs, PBKS reached the 50-run threshold. After six overs, PBKS declare their powerplay at 58/1 with undefeated bowlers Prabhsimran Singh (25*) and Atharva Taide (19*).Arjun Tendulkar came up and took his maiden wicket in front of the home fans, but Mumbai planned Punjab's demise in the middle overs. With a yorker, the youthful bowler successfully caught Prabhsimran Singh (25) just in front of the stumps. Piyush Chawla swiftly responded to give MI control of the game. Chawla dismissed Atharva Taide with a score of 29 (17).
Sam Curran (0*) and Harpreet Singh Bhatia (1*) remained undefeated at the crease as PBKS managed to post a total of 83/4 in 10 overs.
As PBKS gradually passed the 100-run threshold in 13.4 overs, Sam Curran and Harpreet started to prepare a counterattack.
The target for Curran and Harpreet's 16th over was the youthful Arjun Tendulkar. Six boundaries were given away by Arjun in his over, and the 31 runs he let up ultimately allowed PBKS to aim for a score of 200 or higher. Both hitters shown assurance in their batting, and the MI bowlers began to give up runs all over the place. The match's pivotal over occurred during this over.
