Arshdeep Singh is one of the most promising left-arm pacers of the current Indian cricket team setup. Having left an indelible impression on the T20 circuit, Singh is India’s go-to bowler during a crisis situation.
Such was the impact which he left, that he was a part of India’s sojourn in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. Post the retirement of legendary left-armers of India, Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra, Arshdeep has integrated himself into the Indian cricket team’s plans.
In the upcoming Asian Games 2022, under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh will be playing a crucial role. He will be one of the notable bowlers in the bowling department of India and will be entrusted with the responsibility of playing well.
In this article, we take a look at 3 reasons why Arshdeep Singh might have a good tournament in the Asian Games 2022:
1. Exemplary bowler in the T20 format
Having notched up 50 wickets in 33 games, Arshdeep Singh is one of India’s finest T20 bowlers presently. He is also the fastest Indian to reach 50 wickets in this format and is an indispensable part of India’s T20 setup.
Arshdeep Singh will be a key figure in the plans of Ruturaj Gaikwad as he has all the necessary arms and ammunition to wreak havoc on the opposition team’s batting department.
2. Brings the unique angle
The advantage of a left-arm pacer is that he brings a unique angle to the table. The deliveries which nip back to a right-handed batter, often cause distress to them. And for this very reason, Arshdeep Singh is a perfect fit in the Indian cricket team.
Singh would be using his left-arm angle to his full advantage and will be ready to bamboozle the opposition team batters with his bowling in the upcoming Asian Games 2022 in Hangzhou, China.
3. He finished as India’s highest wicket-taker in the last T20I series
In the last T20I series which India played versus West Indies, Arshdeep Singh had emerged out as the highest wicket-taker of India. With 7 wickets under his belt, Singh was a major cause of headache for the West Indian batters.
He would be wanting to continue his good form in this format at the international stage and would be looking to leave a mark in the upcoming Asian Games 2022.
India will be directly playing the quarter finals of this event because of their higher seed.
