Arjun Tendulkar takes his maiden wicket for India Under-19s

Arjun Tendulkar took a wicket for India Under-19s against Sri Lanka at Nondescripts Cricket Club Ground, Colombo in the first Youth Test. This is the first match for a representative Indian side for Arjun, son of Sachin Tendulkar.

Wicketkeeper-captain Anuj Rawat got Tendulkar Jr. to bowl the first over. Akash Pande was at the other end after Nipun Dananjaya opted to bat.

Tendulkar bowled the last ball of his second over (third over of the match), trapping Kamil Mishara — a First-Class cricketer, leg-before with one that hit the inside of the pad. Mishara had gone off to a fresh beginning: his 11-ball 9 runs included 2 fours.

Mishara had made his First-Class debut at the age of 15, for Panadura Sports Club against Sri Lanka Ports Authority Cricket Club.

SRI LANKA UNDER-19 ARE PLAYING WELL

Mishara had contributed 20 runs in 3 overs with wicketkeeper Madushka Fernando. The wicket did not slow the pace at which Sri Lanka Under-19s are batting, with Dananjaya joining Fernando.

The India Under-19s tour consists of 2 Youth Tests and 5 Youth ODIs. But Tendulkar will feature in only the Youth Tests.

Brief scores:

Sri Lanka Under-19s
