Curious about his preference for a heavier bat, Pant asked, “Tera kitna hae bhai (How much does your bat weigh)?”“1220,” Arjun replied. Pant then said: “Bhaari se kya faida hae (What are the benefits of using a heavier bat)?”Arjun explained, “Touch karo ho jaata hae. Dad to 1310-1315 mein khelte the. 1200 se halka jaata nehi hoon main (Just one touch. My father used to play with a bat weight of 1310-1315. I won’t go below 1200).”Of course, this refers to his father, Sachin Tendulkarwho was known for using a heavier bat during his career.Pant was equally impressed with Arjun’s work ethic, especially after learning that he had been trained Yuvraj Singh After the wedding. Arjun tied the knot with Saaniya Chandhok on March 5 in Mumbai, but he immediately returned to cricket.“You are still practicing with Yuvi paa…full time? Shadi ke agle din hi? You are so enthusiastic,” said Pant admiringly.While the pictures of these sessions are not public, it is understood that Yuvraj worked closely with Arjun in batting. The interaction ended on a high note with Pant expressing his support: “Agar kuch lage to batana… always open for you.”Arjun’s IPL journey began in 2021 when he was picked by Mumbai Indians for Rs 20 lakh, although he did not play that season due to injury. In 2022, he was acquired again for Rs 30 lakh but remains on the sidelines. He finally made his debut in 2023 against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium, where he played four games and picked up three wickets. In 2024, he played just one match, coincidentally against LSG, but did not take a wicket.
