On December 1 2007, in a post titled 'SAAWARIYA: A Beautiful Face of Nepotic, Inbreeding Inda', I said:
"Nepotism has not worked in sports yet. But who knows? I would bet on a Tendulkar or a Ganguly captaining Indian national cricket team around year 2025."
The Times of India reported on January 13 2013:
"Arjun Tendulkar's selection in U-14 raises questions of nepotism...Parents are also surprised at the presence of Arjun Tendulkar, son of batting legend Sachin. His best score, 124, had come last May in the Mumbai Under-14 trials for Khar Gymkhana against Goregaon Centre; his next best is a 70, scored last week for Shastri XI in the Vengsarkar Foundation Cup at Mahul. Considering that a triple centurion, four double centurions and nine hundred-makers in the Elite group have not made the mark, their parents have reason to feel short-changed...."
