Preity Zinta Hopes Arjun Tendulkar Bounces Back After Poor IPL Performance

Actor and Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta has expressed her support for Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun Tendulkar, who had a poor performance in his debut match for Mumbai Indians in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL).

Arjun conceded 31 runs in the 16th over of the match against Punjab Kings, which is the joint-most expensive over in the tournament so far. In a video that surfaced on Reddit, Zinta said, "I hope everything goes well and everything goes fine. I do feel that one of the youngsters, whom I've seen as a small kid with chubby cheeks. I'm not saying this because of his famous surname (Tendulkar). I do feel for him today and I hope he comes back strong and he doesn't get trolled for it and stuff like that because it happens with one and all." Harbhajan Singh, who was also a part of the conversation, added, "He will learn a lot from this. We have been bashed too. You learn from your mistakes and those who don't make mistakes never learn. Whatever has happened it's for good, he will learn a lot from today." Arjun's comeback performance against Gujarat Titans was much better, as he conceded just 9 runs in two overs. Shah Rukh Khan, who is the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, had also tweeted previously, "As competitive as this IPL may be… but when you see a friend's son, Arjun Tendulkar, take the field, it is a matter of such happiness and joy. Wish Arjun all the best and Sachin Tendulkar, what a proud moment!! Wow!"
