Introduction
Arjun Tendulkar is a prominent Indian cricketer and the son of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. Unlike his father, who dominated the world with his batting, Arjun has carved his own niche as a left-arm fast-medium bowler and a capable lower-order batsman. Standing tall at over 6 feet, he represents the new generation of Indian all-rounders. Recently, he has been in the headlines not just for his performance on the field with teams like Goa and Mumbai Indians (and lately Lucknow Super Giants), but also for his personal life as he prepares to tie the knot with Saaniya Chandhok.
Early Life & Childhood
Born on September 24, 1999, in the cricketing capital of India, Mumbai, Arjun's life has been under the spotlight since birth. Growing up as the son of the "God of Cricket," he had early access to the best training facilities. However, his journey wasn't handed to him on a silver platter; he had to prove his mettle in the rigorous Mumbai club cricket circuit. He spent much of his childhood at the MIG Cricket Club and often traveled to London, where he trained at the MCC Academy near Lord's.
Education Qualification
Arjun attended the prestigious Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai. Despite his heavy focus on cricket, he maintained a balanced academic life. Later, he pursued higher studies, including short-term courses in the UK while focusing on his cricket development. His education at such a global institution helped him develop the suave and professional personality he carries today.
Career Journey
Arjun's professional journey began with the India U-19 team during their tour of Sri Lanka in 2018. He made his T20 debut for Mumbai in January 2021. Seeking more opportunities, he made a strategic move to Goa in 2022. This proved to be a masterstroke as it gave him the platform to showcase his skills as a frontline bowler and a reliable batsman. In the IPL, he was a member of the Mumbai Indians for several seasons before moving to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for the 2026 season.
Breakthrough Moment
The most iconic moment of his career came on December 13, 2022, during his First-class debut for Goa against Rajasthan. Emulating his father’s feat, Arjun scored a maiden century (120 runs) on his Ranji Trophy debut. This silenced many critics and proved that he possesses the "Tendulkar" batting DNA alongside his natural bowling talent.
Major Works & Projects
Apart from domestic cricket, Arjun's stint in the IPL has been his biggest project. His debut for Mumbai Indians in 2023 against KKR was a highly anticipated event. Over the years, he has played 22 First-class matches, picking up nearly 50 wickets and scoring over 600 runs. His ability to swing the new ball late makes him a valuable asset in the T20 format.
The Grand Engagement & Wedding
In August 2025, the Tendulkar family celebrated a major milestone as Arjun got engaged to Saaniya Chandhok in an intimate ceremony. Saaniya is a certified veterinarian and the founder of Mr. Paws Pet Spa. She is also the granddaughter of the famous Mumbai businessman Ravi Ghai (Chairman of Graviss Group).
"When your son brings home a woman to introduce to you, then you realize that your son has now grown up." — Sachin Tendulkar at a pre-wedding event.
The couple is set to marry on March 5, 2026, in Mumbai. High-profile guests including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and various Bollywood stars have reportedly been invited to what is being called the "Wedding of the Year."
Income, Fees & Net Worth
As of 2026, Arjun Tendulkar's net worth is estimated to be approximately ₹22 Crore ($2.6 Million). His income is derived from:
| Source | Estimated Earnings |
|---|---|
| IPL Salary (LSG/MI) | ₹30 Lakh - ₹50 Lakh per season |
| Domestic Cricket (BCCI) | ₹10 Lakh - ₹15 Lakh annually |
| Endorsements | ₹50 Lakh+ annually |
Lifestyle, Assets & Cars
Arjun lives in the massive 6,000 sq ft Tendulkar residence in Bandra, Mumbai, valued at nearly ₹100 Crore. He is a car enthusiast and has been seen driving luxury vehicles like the Mercedes-AMG C36 and Porsche Cayenne. Despite the luxury, he maintains a disciplined athlete's lifestyle, spending hours in the gym to maintain his 6'3" frame.
Lesser Known Facts
- Arjun is a massive fan of English fast bowler Alan Knott and Mitchell Starc.
- He once famously bowled a yorker to Jonny Bairstow in the nets that left the England batter hobbling.
- His fiancée, Saaniya Chandhok, is a close childhood friend of his sister, Sara Tendulkar, who reportedly played the role of matchmaker.
- Unlike his father, who is right-handed, Arjun is a natural left-hander in both batting and bowling.
Upcoming Projects & Future Goals
Arjun's immediate focus is on the IPL 2026 season and establishing himself as a permanent member of the Indian national setup. With his upcoming marriage, he is also looking to balance his personal responsibilities while continuing to improve his pace and batting consistency in domestic cricket.
