Sachin Tendulkar invites President Murmu for son Arjun's wedding ceremony

Sachin Tendulkar personally invites President Droupadi Murmu and Home Minister Amit Shah to his son Arjun's wedding to Saaniya Chandok.

"We relived some of those cherished memories when we met the President today to invite her... - Sachin Tendulkar"

New Delhi, February 10

Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar invited President Droupadi Murmu and Home Minister Amit Shah for the wedding of his son Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandok on Tuesday.

The duo got engaged in August last year.

He met President Murmu with his family at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi. Sharing the news on X, Tendulkar wrote, "Last February, Hon'ble President Smt. Droupadi Murmu ji graciously hosted us at Rashtrapati Bhavan. We relived some of those cherished memories when we met the President today to invite her to Arjun and Saaniya's wedding. Thank you for your warm wishes, Hon'ble President."

After inviting Union Home Minister Amit Shah for the wedding, Tendulkar shared a tweet saying, "We cordially invited Hon'ble Home Minister Shri @AmitShah ji to Arjun and Saaniya's wedding. Thank you for the warmth extended to our family, we deeply appreciate your kind wishes."

The 26-year-old all-rounder has played five IPL matches for MI and has taken three wickets while conceding 114 runs. He also has made 13 runs in his IPL career so far. Arjun now plays for Goa in domestic cricket after making his debut for Mumbai in 2021.

Arjun Tendulkar was traded to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) from Mumbai Indians (MI) ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 mini-auction last year and will play for LSG this season. While the five-time IPL champions were required to part ways with Arjun, they have secured the services of leg-spinner Mayank Markande in a trade with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

The Mumbai Indians first picked Arjun in the IPL 2021 mini-auction for Rs 20 lakh, but he did not feature in any match that season. MI bought him again for Rs 30 lakh in the IPL 2022 mega-auction, and he made his long-awaited IPL debut in 2023, taking three wickets in four games. Ahead of IPL 2024, Hardik Pandya replaced Rohit Sharma as MI captain, and Arjun appeared in only one match that season.

In the IPL 2025 mega-auction, Arjun went unsold in the initial round but was later acquired by MI at his base price of Rs 30 lakh in the accelerated round. He did not get a game that season and remained on the bench.

Saaniya Chandok comes from a prominent background. She is the granddaughter of Ravi Ghai, Chairman of the Graviss Group. She has been a close friend of the Tendulkar family, particularly Arjun's sister, Sara Tendulkar, for several years.

Good to see Arjun settling into his career with Goa. Hope the wedding brings him good luck and he gets more chances to prove himself in IPL for LSG. The pressure of being Sachin's son must be immense.

Interesting to see the intersection of cricket, business, and politics here. The Chandok family's prominence adds another layer. Wishing the young couple all the best.

While I wish the couple well, I can't help but feel the article spends too much on Arjun's modest cricket stats and IPL journey. The focus should be on the wedding and the families coming together. Baaki sab theek hai!

President Murmu attending would be such a proud moment. It's a beautiful blend of tradition and modern India. Saaniya and Sara being friends for years makes it even more special. May their marriage be filled with joy! 💐

The real story is Sachin's humility. Even after achieving everything, he personally goes to invite dignitaries. That's why he is the God of Cricket. Hope Arjun finds his own path, on and off the field.
