Farhan Akhtar says ‘don’t murder enthusiasm’ of Arjun Tendulkar after Sachin Tendulkar’s son’s selection in Mumbai Indians for IPL 2021

Indian Premier League 2021 auction was held earlier this week! One of the players selected for the new season of IPL is Arjun Tendulkar, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar’s son, for Mumbai Indians’ team. Netizens had mixed feelings about the young cricketer and called it promoting nepotism. Farhan Akhtar has now come in defense of him stating ‘don’t murder his enthusiasm'.

Arjun Tendulkar was bought for Rs. 20 lakhs by Mumbai Indians. Farhan Akhtar, on Saturday, took to Twitter and said, "I feel I should say this about #Arjun_Tendulkar. We frequent the same gym & I’ve seen how hard he works on his fitness, seen his focus to be a better cricketer. To throw the word ‘nepotism’ at him is unfair & cruel. Don’t murder his enthusiasm & weigh him down before he’s begun."
