    Digital Desk: Mumbai Indians all-rounder Arjun Tendulkar revealed that he was involved in a freak accident ahead of the IPL 2023 match between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Mumbai Indians at the Ekana Stadium on Tuesday. The MI all-rounder, who made his IPL debut last month, had only played a handful of matches this year.


    Ahead of IPL match no. 63, Arjun Tendulkar was seen telling LSG players that he had been bitten by a dog on his bowling arm a day earlier. LSG player Yudhvir Singh asks Arjun Tendulkar, "How are you doing, brother?" To this, Arjun Tendulkar responds, "A dog bit me a day before," while showing his bowling hand.


    Arjun Tendulkar, the son of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, played in four matches this season and took three wickets. The Mumbai all-rounder, who shifted base to Goa to play Ranji Trophy cricket last season, had been bought by five-time IPL champions MI for Rs 30 lakh in the IPL 2023 auction.


    In the meantime, former India teammates Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir met and hugged each other before their respective IPL teams' clash on Tuesday evening. On Monday, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma approached Lucknow Super Giants mentor Gautam Gambhir and shook hands during a practice session at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Rohit Sharma made his Twenty20 international debut during the 2007 T20 World Cup in South Africa, where Gambhir was playing as the opener.


    Gambhir, who made headlines earlier this season for a heated disagreement with Virat Kohli, was seen cracking jokes and smiling alongside Indian captain Rohit Sharma in a video uploaded by LSG's Twitter handle.

    LSG and MI are listed next to each other in the points table, making the match more exciting. MI is in third place with 14 points after seven victories and five losses. LSG, on the other hand, is just one point behind MI with 13 points after losing five and winning six matches.


    In the two IPL matches that the MI and LSG have played so far, Rohit Sharma's team has never defeated the LSG.
