Did LSG Miss An Opportunity With Arjun?
Arjun's stunning performance has also reignited discussions about his limited opportunities in IPL 2026. After being traded to Lucknow Super Giants before the season, Arjun spent most of the tournament on the bench.
He was finally given a chance only after LSG had already been eliminated from playoff contention.
In his lone IPL appearance, he impressed by taking a wicket and bowling with control. His recent heroics in the Mumbai T20 League have led many fans to question whether LSG should have trusted him earlier in the season.
