Mumbai Indians are the five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions but this year, their problems seem to have no end.
From the form of their captain Rohit Sharma to their death bowling woes, nothing seems to be working for the Mumbai-based franchise at the moment.
At the IPL 2022 mega auction, Mumbai let their strike bowler Trent Boult go to Rajasthan Royals and the five-time champions went for injured Jofra Archer, who was already ruled out of this year's competition.

He will be part of IPL from next Season!

They are dearly missing that x-factor in their bowling department and to add to their problems, even Jasprit Bumrah is looking out of form.
In their recent defeat, Australia all-rounder Daniel Sams got clobbered for 35 runs in his third over by Pat Cummins as the Australia Test captain finished the match with four overs to spare.

While many fans dissed Sams for his poor bowling, others demanded the inclusion of Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar.
Arjun is an all-rounder and like Sams, he is a left-arm pacer who can tonk the ball if needed. But his lack of experience at the first-class level might be the only reason that has kept him out of the playing XI despite Mumbai Indians not doing well.
Le aao Arjun Tendulkar ko ab. #KKRvMI

3-0 @mipaltan come on. We still can do it. Pace Bowling unit looks rough. Time to try young master. Arjun Tendulkar #arjuntendulkar.
Arjun Tendulkar can play instead of Sams.

— DK hype account (@gillfan_) April 6, 2022Arjun Tendulkar was bought by Mumbai Indians for Rs 30 lakhs after a surprise bid by Gujarat Titans' Ashish Nehra increased his price by 10 lakhs.
The 22-year-old made his debut for Mumbai in the domestic T20 competition, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and picked up a couple of wickets.
Cricket in his blood. Refined in the nets. Now ready to take the 22-yards by storm

With nothing going Mumbai's way, it won't be a bad idea to try out the left-arm pacer as they have nothing to lose at the moment.
If the move pays off, it will do his and the team's confidence a world of good
