Hardik Pandya, Varun Chakravarthy and Arshdeep Singh played a crucial role for the team in the opening match of the series.
The left-arm fast bowler from Punjab has become a crucial part of India’s T20I setup. He also played an important role for the team in the T20 World Cup 2024. In the first match against Bangladesh, Arshdeep picked up three wickets.
The left-arm pacer made his India debut two years ago and picked up 86 wickets in 55 T20I matches. He also played 8 ODI matches and took 12 wickets. Arshdeep talked about his journey with Team India in the past two years where he saw both highs and lows.
‘I don’t think much about the future’: Arshdeep Singh
The Indian pacer said that he’s enjoying his game and didn’t even realise how these two years flew by. Arshdeep further added that he just tries to stay in the present and enjoy the highs and lows of cricket.
“I am enjoying my game and didn’t even realise how these two years flew by. I just try and stay in the present, enjoy the highs and lows, that is my focus” Arshdeep said in the press conference on Tuesday.
He also revealed his life’s mantra and said that he doesn’t think much about the future “My life’s mantra is to enjoy the present. Today is my rest day so I will enjoy my rest today. Kal ka Kal dekhenge (Will think about tomorrow when it comes). The T20 World Cup is two years away, very far I don’t think much about the future” he added when a question on his future was thrown his way” Arshdeep added.
‘Playing in different formats teaches players a lot’: Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep talked about the difference he felt in his white-ball skills after becoming an all-format player and said that playing all formats teaches players a lot and allows them to explore skills. The left-arm pacer has delivered a great performance in the Duleep Trophy 2024 and is making a serious case for the maiden Test call-up.
“It gives opportunity to the players to explore their skills. How he can take wickets in different ways, how to absorb pressure. Playing in different formats teaches players a lot. In red ball, you get more overs to bowl, it teaches you patience, here (in T20s) you don’t need patience, you have to think about what a batter can do” Arshdeep added.
Arshdeep Singh, who is leading the Indian fast bowling attack in the ongoing T20I series against Bangladesh said that he’s enjoying the highs and lows of cricket. Cricket Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
