IPL 2021: "Will give you two gifts this year" - Mumbai Indians share Arjun Tendulkar's cute interaction with sister Sara on Raksha Bandhan

On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, IPL franchise Mumbai Indians shared a video in which Arjun Tendulkar is seen interacting with sister Sara on a mobile phone.

Arjun, son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, was picked up by the Mumbai Indians at the IPL 2021 auction for his base price of INR 20 lakh.

On Sunday, Mumbai Indians shared a video on their social media handles in which Arjun is seen interacting with Sara.

The latter reminds Arjun that he hadn’t given her a Raksha Bandhan gift last year, leading to some laughter in the background. Arjun smiles and responds:

"Yeah, so I will give you two gifts this year."

Apart from Arjun, batter Anmolpreet Singh, bowler Yudhvir Singh and wicketkeeper-batter Aditya Tare also got a chance to interact with their siblings.

Mumbai Indians shared the video with the caption:

“Separated by seas, bound by the sibling bond. Presenting heartwarming #OneFamily conversations on the occasion of #RakshaBandhan.#MumbaiIndians #IPL2021 @arjuntendulkar24 @anmol_singh322 @yudhvirsinghcharak @aduu27.”

Mumbai Indians recently completed their quarantine in the UAE and began their practice sessions for the second half of IPL 2021 on Friday.
