Singh has so far played only three T20Is in his young career but he has shown a lot of maturity and composure in his game, which is vital for savoring success in the shortest format. Arshdeep has picked five wickets in three games and he has bowled with an economy rate of 5.91, which is really impressive.

Paras Mhambrey said in the press conference, “I’ve been watching him for a long time now, since the IPL as well. Something that really stood out for me was his ability to absorb pressure. If you look at it, he bowls the hard overs, the overs in the powerplay and also at the death. In terms of the composure he has shown, I’m very happy, especially the way he turned up in the last game as well.

“This game, the 17th over he bowled, showed a lot about the ability that he has. I’m very happy to see him deliver for the team,” he added.

Arshdeep Singh has definitely made a case for himself for the T20 World Cup. He has been ticking the right boxes and he can definitely add value to the team.
