On Day 2 of the ongoing Round 2 game against Chandigarh, Goa asserted their dominance by posting a massive total of 618/7d in the first innings. Suyash Prabhudessai led the charge with a brilliant 197 off 364, supported by Deepraj Gaonkar's unbeaten 115, Siddharth KV's 77, and a fiery 70 from Arjun Tendulkar.

Batting at number 8, Arjun Tendulkar entered the crease with the intention of making an impact from the start. His aggressive 60-ball 70, featuring six boundaries and four towering sixes, played a crucial role in extending Goa's stellar performance on Day 2. Tendulkar's innings showcased his batting prowess and contributed significantly to the team's imposing total.
In the ongoing game against Chandigarh, Arjun Tendulkar silenced critics with a quick-fire fifty, scoring 57 in 63 balls during the third session. This marks only his second fifty-plus score, with the first one coming for Goa last year (120). Tendulkar's partnership with opener Suyash Prabhudessai, who scored an impressive 197, played a vital role in Goa's commanding position.
Despite a slow start in the tournament, Arjun Tendulkar's recent innings against Chandigarh suggests a positive turn in his form. The 24-year-old is proving his mettle as a lower-order batsman, displaying the potential to be a valuable asset for Goa in the ongoing Ranji Trophy.
While Arjun Tendulkar's individual performance stood out in the Round 2 clash, Goa faced a setback in their opening game, losing to Tripura by a substantial margin of 237 runs. However, the team's strong comeback against Chandigarh indicates a promising trajectory in the tournament.
