In fact, the 23-year-old had an impressive outing for Goa across formats including in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament as well.
Arjun was bought by MI during the 2021 auction but had to wait three years before getting his first IPL game.
“Obviously it was great getting my first IPL wicket. I just had to focus on what was in hand, the plan and execute it,” Arjun said after MI’s win over SRH in Hyderabad. “Our plan was just to bowl wide and get the long boundary into play, make the batsman hit it to the longer side.”
MI captain Rohit said Arjun is confident about his role.
