In the IPL 2024 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Wankhede Stadium, a tense moment unfolded involving Marcus Stoinis and Arjun Tendulkar. Arjun, playing his first match of the season for MI, delivered a brilliant first over. However, his aggressive act of pretending to run out Stoinis on the final ball did not sit well with the Australian, who fumed at the young bowler.
Stoinis faced four dot balls, including an LBW scare, while Arjun conceded only three runs. The incident occurred when Arjun picked up the ball after Stoinis defended it and made a gesture as if to throw at the stumps. Stoinis, visibly upset, shouted at Arjun, who responded with a smile.
This match marked Arjun’s return to IPL action after a stint on the bench. Despite MI’s disappointing season, with only four wins and sitting at the bottom of the points table, Arjun’s performance stood out. MI aimed to finish their season positively and avoid the wooden spoon by surpassing Punjab Kings.
