Mumbai Indians' s bowling coach Shane Bond has said he will be working on increasing the pace of Arjun Tendulkar, whose speeds currently hover around 130kmph.
Four days after being smashed for 48 runs, including 31 in one over against Punjab Kings, Tendulkar Jr made a fine comeback against Gujarat Titans and ended the game with figures of 1-9 in two overs here on Tuesday.
"He did well today [Tuesday], obviously after what happened in the last game. It's never easy to step onto the ground that is a Colosseum with a big crowd. We will work on increasing his pace, but he did all that was asked of him today," Bond said at the media conference.
