The Canberra product has returned to Australia with the Perth Scorchers after they were bundled out of the lucrative tournament.

While the Scorchers fell short of expectations, the 23-year-old fast bowler continued his development with impressive performances on the subcontinent.

Behrendorff picked up 2-31 in the Scorchers' final game against the Mumbai Indians last Thursday, including the crucial scalp of Tendulkar for a second-ball duck, caught on the midwicket boundary by Sam Whiteman.

Tendulkar is feted whereever he plays, but especially in his home-land where they adore the 40-year-old who has made 100 international centuries and more than 15,000 Test runs.

''That was one of the highlights of my career so far,'' Behrendorff said. ''To get out Sachin Tendulkar was amazing, he's one of the best cricketers to have played the game.

''You could almost hear a pin drop when he got out, the crowd was silent and it was a very good moment for us.''

It's a far cry from the empty grounds Behrendorff played in front of only a couple of years ago with Tuggeranong in the ACT first-grade competition.

He progressed through the ranks with the ACT Comets before making his Sheffield Shield debut with Western Australia in 2011.

Behrendorff became a regular in the Scorchers for last year's Twenty20 Big Bash and is a genuine strike bowler in the shortest form of the game, taking 13 wickets from 10 appearances.

His goal is to feature in all three formats for Western Australia and the Scorchers.

WA begins its Ryobi Cup campaign in Sydney next weekend before the focus switches to the first-class arena in November.

A shortened off-season break allowed Behrendorff to hit the ground running.

''I took maybe one week off this year before going back and continuing my strength and conditioning work,'' he said.

''My pre-season was a lot better this year than last year, just changed a couple of little running techniques and feel a lot stronger.''

While Behrendorff is still new to the domestic scene, constant injuries to the country's leading pacemen show there's always an opportunity for higher honours.

''If you stay fit, there's every possibility if you're playing well that you can be in the right place at the right time and get picked,'' he said.

''I was lucky enough to play a few games last year, and I feel that I'm starting my career. I wouldn't say I'm feeling comfortable at that level, but I'm feeling more competitive at that level and doing a good job for the state and hopefully I can continue to do that.''

Meanwhile, Australian Glenn Maxwell has helped power Mumbai to a 33-run win over the Rajasthan Royals to claim their second Champions League Twenty20 title. Maxwell blasted 37 runs from 14 balls in the final in Delhi, lifting the Indians' total to 6-202.
