Sachin Tendulkar himself was the opener. But, it seems that his son Arjun Tendulkar does not like the opening pair to remain stuck on the wicket. This is the reason why in Ranji Trophy, his attack on the openers of the opposing team has been seen falling well. In Ranji Trophy, Goa defeated Sikkim by a huge margin of one innings and 53 runs. Arjun Tendulkar made a brilliant contribution to Goa's victory by taking 6 wickets. This is the second consecutive first class match, in which Arjun Tendulkar has taken 5 or more wickets.

Now after overcoming the huge lead of 259 runs in front of Sikkim, Goa had the challenge of setting a target, which they failed to overcome. This is because in the second innings, the Goa bowlers wreaked havoc on the Sikkim batsmen even more. Arjun Tendulkar and Darshan Mesai, who took 2-2 wickets in the first innings, took 4-4 wickets in the second innings. The result was that Goa's second innings was reduced to 206 runs and they lost the match.

It's time for openers, this is amazing for the second consecutive match!

Arjun Tendulkar, who dismissed only one opener of Sikkim in the first innings, defeated both their openers in the second innings.
