Sachin Tendulkar's son, Arjun was the cynosure of eyes as he bowled at the nets to the likes of Virat Kohli and other members of the Indian team during their first practice session at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday.

 

Watched by India head coach Ravi Shastri and bowling coach Bharat Arun, 18-year-old Arjun first bowled to left-handed opener Shikhar Dhawan and then to Kohli.

He also bowled to Ajinkya Rahane and middle-order batsman Kedar Jadhav among others.

A left-arm seamer, Arjun was also seen interacting with Bharat Arun after his session.

Bowling at the nets to an Indian squad is not new for Arjun.

Jr Tendulkar had bowled in the nets to the women's team at the iconic Lords before their ICC World Cup final against England in July.

Arjun was recently named in a Mumbai U-19 squad for an invitational tournament.

India play the first ODI against New Zealand in Mumbai on Sunday, October 22.
