Arjun Tendulkar, son of Sachin Tendulkar, known as the God of Cricket, was bought by Mumbai Indians at his base price in the mega auction held for the last edition. Although Arjun did not play a single match in 2025, now a mini auction is going to be held in December before IPL 2026. The retention list will be released on November 15 and it will be clear which franchise has retained and released which player. Meanwhile, big news is coming that Mumbai can leave Arjun Tendulkar.

Which player will Mumbai Indians replace Arjun Tendulkar?

According to the report of Cricbuzz, talks are going on between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants regarding Arjun Tendulkar and Shardul Thakur. The report quoted sources as saying that there could be an exchange of the two, although it could be a complete cash transfer.

According to IPL trade rules, only BCCI can officially announce any transfer, so perhaps both the franchises do not want to say anything. A source associated with Mumbai Cricket has confirmed to Cricbuzz that there is a possibility of a trade between these two. Its announcement may be made in a few days.

How was Shardul Thakur last season? Display

Shardul Thakur remained unsold in the mega auction held last year, after which Lucknow Super Giants made him a part of their squad as a replacement for Rs 2 crore. Thakur played a total of 10 matches in the 2025 edition, in which he took 13 wickets. Thakur also bats well, although he did not make any significant contribution with the bat in the last edition.

Talking about Arjun Tendulkar, he did not get a chance to play even a single match in the last edition. Arjun has been with Mumbai since the first season (2023), but could not leave much of an impact. In 2023, Arjun played 4 matches, in which he took a total of 3 wickets. In 2024, he got to play only 1 match, in which he could not take any wicket.
