In a recent interview with India Today, Sara remarked that she never really thought of playing cricket like her father and brother.

Arjun Tendulkar is following in Sachin’s footsteps
While Sachin’s elder daughter chose his own way, his younger son Arjun took up cricket and is a domestic Indian cricketer. However, unlike his father, Arjun is a left-handed fast bowling all-rounder.
Arjun plays for the Goa side in the domestic circuit and has also featured in the IPL for the Mumbai Indians. Since making his debut against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, he has picked up three wickets in five matches at a bowling average of 38.
Arjun has also played in 17 First-class games for Goa, picking up 37 wickets at an average of 33 while scoring 532 runs, including a first-class century.
