Picked up by Mumbai Indians in the 2021 mini-auction for INR 20 lakh, Arjun had to wait patiently for his chance, not featuring in a single game that season. The franchise retained faith in him in 2022, signing him for INR 30 lakh, but his debut finally came in 2023, where he played four matches. Despite being retained again in 2025, he did not get any game time, prompting a move to LSG ahead of the current season in search of more consistent opportunities.
Ahead of the new IPL season, Arjun appeared on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast, where he opened up about his cricketing influences. When asked to name his idol apart from his father, he quickly chose former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. Speaking about what he admired most, Arjun said it was “obviously his batting,” highlighting Yuvraj’s impact as one of India’s most iconic match-winners. When questioned about Yuvraj’s bowling, Arjun added with clarity, “He was a spinner, I am a pacer.”
