Bridgetown (Barbados), June 29: He is not known for making big statements. He hardly stares at batters on the crease, or abuses the opposition. He silently does his work with sheer determination and keeps a low profile.
In the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024,he is one of India's best performers and is a vital cog in Rohit Sharma led unbeaten side. Left-arm swing bowler Arshdeep Singh is a revelation in the last one year.
Arshdeep has been taking wickets regularly with the new ball and coming back in the death overs to nail the opposition. At times, like Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep is expected to send the opposition big hitters to the pavilion early.
True, Arshdeep Singh has evolved as a player, a better teamman, a useful contributor with the bat lower down the order and a much improved fielder.
As the T20 World Cup 2024 is inching towards the final clash, Arshdeep Singh needs three more wickets in the final to walk into the record books. If he gets three more scalps, he will hold the record of most dismissals in a single edition of the T20 World Cup.
Well, Arshdeep is nicely placed presently with 15 wickets at an economy rate of 7.5. He is fourth on the list of players with the most wickets in a single edition of the 20-over World Cup.
The three bowlers ahead of him are: Fazalhaq Farooqi (17 wickets) of Afghanistan, Wanindu Hasaranga (16 scalps) of Sri Lanka and Ajantha Mendis (15 wickets with better economy) of Sri Lanka again.
If Arshdeep gets three more victims and India win the T20 World Cup trophy, then it would be a double whammy for Men in Blue. Indian fans will too have double celebrations.
