Arjun Tendulkar slammed a century for Goa on his Ranji Trophy debut on Wednesday to imitate a feat achieved by his father, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

Arjun scored his maiden first-class century on Day 2 of the match against Rajasthan. Playing at home, Goa were put in to bat by Rajasthan after winning the toss.

Coming in at No 7, with Goa positioned at 201/5, Arjun hit 12 boundaries and two sixes. And at the end of the 40th over, he was batting on 112, having stitched unbroken 205-run stand with Suyash S Prabhudesai (172 batting).

Earlier, this season Tendulkar Jr had decided to move to Goa and had seeked No Objection Certificate (NoC) from Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA).

Sachin Tendulkar too had scored a century on his Ranji Trophy debut in 1988, when he struck a century against Gujarat as a teenager.
