Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has sparked a social media frenzy with a witty remark regarding a viral exchange between Rishabh Pant and Arjun Tendulkar. Commenting on the duo's discussion about heavy bat weights and training discipline, Yuvraj affectionately referred to the legendary Sachin Tendulkar as the 'Papa' (father) of all cricketers. n the viral video shared by the franchise, Pant is seen questioning Arjun about his equipment. When a surprised Pant asked about the advantage of such weight, Arjun explained that it allows for better timing, noting that his father, Sachin Tendulkar, famously used even heavier bats ranging between 1,310g and 1,315g. "Touch karo toh jaati hai (You just need to touch it and it flies). Papa used to play with 1,310–1,315g. I don't go below 1,200g," Arjun told Pant in the clip.

Arjun Tendulkar’s move to Lucknow Super Giants marks a significant turning point in his career. After spending five seasons with the Mumbai Indians, where he featured in only five matches, the trade is seen as an opportunity for the left-arm seamer and batter to gain more consistent game time.
