Arshdeep Singh isn't having the best of time at the Asia Cup 2022 edition. While he has been a part of the playing XI in all four games featuring Team India, the 23-year-old had an off-day versus Hong Kong and things have only gone south for him since then.
In India's Super Four clash versus Pakistan, Arshdeep dropped a simple catch of Asif Ali -- who slammed a fine 8-ball 16 and was one of the stars inMen in Green's successful 182-run chase in Dubai. In India's face-off versus Sri Lanka on Tuesday (September 06), at the same venue, Arshdeep conceded quite a few runsin the Men in Blue's defence of 173/8 and also couldn't defend seven off the last over.
Arshdeep hasshown a lot of courage to bowl the final over in India's last two outings. Nonetheless, the young pacer couldn't prevent India's back-to-back defeats as they are nearing an early exit. After the thrilling Indo-SL fixture, a spectator crossed his limits and called Arshdeep a 'traitor'. Here's the video of the unfortunate episode:
After the SL defeat, captain Rohit defended Arshdeep and said at the post-match presentation, "Have to give a lot (of credit) to Arshdeep for bowling at the death and for the way he bowled."
So far, Arshdeep has had figures of 3.5-0-28-2, 4-0-44-1, 3.5-0-27-1and 3.5-0-40-0. While he has churned out four wickets, he is facing the brunt of his fielding mistakeversus Pakistan. Despite all this,the youngster has shown a lot of courage and temperament to bowl the final overs and push the games as far as possible.
