Nita Ambani: Mumbai Indians (MI)
owner Nita Ambani spent a lot of money on players in the mega auction for
IPL 2025. The highest bid was placed on fast bowler Trent Boast, while at the end of the second round, there was one player on whom Nita Ambani was once again kind This player remained unsold in the first two rounds but in the end, this player made his place in Mumbai Indians at his base price. Let us tell you who this player is.
Nita Ambani changed the fortunes of this player
Nita Ambani made many surprising picks in the Mega Auction . Deepak Chahar’s name was also included in this. But at the end of the auction, she made a player a part of the team, on whom no team bid even after two rounds. This player is none other than Sachin Tendulkar ‘s son Arjun Tendulkar . Arjun was bought by Mumbai Indians (MI) at a base price of 30 lakhs. After which he has once again become a part of the MI.
Nita Ambani took the decision after being insulted repeatedly in the auction room
MI owner Nita Ambani has a very deep relationship with the Tendulkar family. Sachin Tendulkar was also the captain of this team for many years. Due to which she showed kindness to Arjun Tendulkar. She probably did not like Arjun Tendulkar remaining unsold twice in the auction, due to which she once again bought this young player in the auction. When auctioneer Mallika Sagar announced that Arjun will be in the MI team, there was a smile on the faces of Nita Ambani and Akash Ambani.
A big mistake happened before the mega auction
In the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, Arjun Tendulkar had a golden opportunity to join any team with a big value in the auction. But his performance in the tournament was quite disappointing. Arjun bowled an expensive spell in this tournament contrary to expectations and conceded 48 runs in 4 overs .
This was the reason why no team showed confidence in him. If Arjun had performed better in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, the picture in the auction might have been different. Talking about Arjun Tendulkar, the team bought him for the first time in 2021 at a base price of Rs 20 lakh. Since then he is a part of this team. He has also registered 3 wickets in 5 IPL matches.
