‘Arjun can bowl at 140 kmph if…’: Brett Lee’s invaluable advice for Arjun Tendulkar

Brett Lee, who was impressed with Arjun Tendulkar's bowling, condemned the criticism and advised him not to pay attention to the outside noise. 

After Sachin Tendulkar, his son Arjun Tendulkar has become the toast of the nation. Arjun ended his long wait for an IPL debut on April 16 against Kolkata Knight Riders. In all the matches Arjun played so far, he has been able to impress everyone, including the legends of the game. 

While Arjun has been the cynosure of social media during all his three appearances for MI, he was shown no mercy by the fans when an IPL graphic revealed ‘107.2 KM/H’ as his bowling speed during the SRH game.

“People criticise almost everything. If you look at Sandeep Sharma, he has been bowling at 120 kph. Arjun is at least bowling way faster than that. He is only 23 years of age and he has got his whole career ahead of him. My advice will be don’t listen to critics. Like his dad had to go through like he misses out and gets a low score…you got to back yourself. He has got some wonderful skills. He can bowl at 140 kph so as soon as he gets comfortable bowling in the team environment, in front of the big lights and big crowd, his pace will increase. I see no issue with his pace. I know how fast he can bowl. He has got all the talent and all the right attributes. So my advice would be tokeep doing what you have been doing and don’t listen to those people who are trying to have a go at him because remember most people who will criticise on social media have never bowled a ball in their life. They are keyboard warriors,” he said.

In three matches so far, Arjun has picked two wickets, including that of PBKS’ Prabhsimran Singh with a toe-crushing yorker.
