Arjun is currently representing the MCC Young Cricketers against Surrey Second XI in the Second XI Championship.
He dismissed opener Nathan Tilley with a brilliant delivery on the first ball of his third over.
The delivery was angled across from over the wicket and it swung back in to hit the top of the off-stump.
The batsman saw the ball breaching his defense.

Arjun impressed in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy in 2018, bagging figures of 5/30 to help Mumbai beat Gujarat by nine wickets.
He was also terrific for Vijay Merchant XI against Vijay Manjrekar XI in the KC Mahindra Shield U-19 tournament, finishing with 6/70.
The promising youngster had picked up 19 wickets in five matches in the 2017-18 Cooch Behar Trophy as well.

The 19-year-old recently impressed for the Aakash Tigers in the Mumbai T20 League.
He is shaping up well and the exposure to play in different conditions will be helpful.
The youngster's target will be to keep putting in the shifts.
With youngsters such as Shubman Gill and Prithvi Shaw getting chances at the top level, one hopes that Arjun will get a call-up soon.
