Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh was branded a 'Khalistani' on Wikipedia after dropping a catch against Pakistan in the Asia cup. The Indian government is seeking an explanation from top executives at Wikipedia. Palki Sharma tells you more.

Gravitas: Indian bowler branded 'Khalistani' for dropped catch

India cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has come down heavily on the trolls targeting Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh over his dropped catch in the Super Four clash against Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday. Arshdeep has been subjected to vicious abuse after his mistake in the game as India lost by five wickets.

Pakistan batter Asif&nbsp;Ali got a reprieve during the 18th over of their 182-run chase against India in Dubai on Sunday when Arshdeep spilt a sitter. It was a routine catch but pressure seemed to have gotten the better of the fast bowler, who dropped a dolly. Ali went on to score 16 runs off 8 balls and take Pakistan home in the last-over thriller.

Arshdeep has since been on the receiving end of merciless trolling and abuse online. Several former cricketers have come out in support of the youngster, including Gavaskar, who lashed out at the trolls stating that they should not be taken seriously.

"No former cricketer has criticised Arshdeep," said during a discussion on Sports Tak.&nbsp;“Who are these people who are critical of Arshdeep? Why do we need to give credence to them? How many of them can catch the ball that flies into the stands? Rarely anyone. So how does their comments matter,” he added.

Further questioning the credentials of those hiding behind their social media accounts and abusing players, Gavaskar said players should avoid letting the unwarranted criticism get to their heads. The former India captain believes a player should take note if a former cricketer says something nasty about them but ignore the trolls.

“I actually don't even know why people take all these people who are commenting adversely seriously. Who are they? If a former player or a fellow player actually says something nasty, something critical, then you take note. You can't ignore that because that person has had the experience of having played the game," said Gavaskar.

“Somebody who has never played the game, somebody, who is hiding behind some anonymous identity, why would you take them seriously," he added.

Arshdeep will be eager to put the incident behind and bounce back when India lock horns with Sri Lanka in their second Super Four clash in Dubai on Tuesday. It will be a must-win clash for India, who have only two games remaining in the competition with a spot in the final on the line.

'How many can catch a ball in the stands?': Sunil Gavaskar lashes out trolls for targeting Arshdeep Singh

India and Pakistan produced another thriller at the Asia Cup 2022 edition&nbsp;-- after the&nbsp;group stage face-off -- in their respective Super Four opening clash on Sunday (September 04). Playing at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, Rohit Sharma-led India were asked to bat first and posted a competitive 181/7 before Md Rizwan's 71, Md Nawaz's 20-ball 42* and Asif Ali's lusty blows took Pakistan past the finish line.&nbsp;

From India's perspective, Yuzvendra Chahal, Hardik Pandya had an off-day with the ball whereas Bhuvneshwar Kumar conceded 19 runs in the penultimate over. Arshdeep Singh leaked only 27 runs in 3.5 overs, and accounted for a wicket, but he dropped a simple catch of Asif in the 18th over which led to his massive trolling online. Amid all this, many former cricketers have backed the 23-year-old pacer whereas the likes of Virat Kohli, Md Shami and Shikhar Dhawan also extended their support to the Punjab Kings' (PBKS) speedster. Now, former batting legend Sachin Tendulkar also joined the bandwagon and came out in support of under-fire Arshdeep.

Tendulkar took to his official Twitter handle and shared a post where he wrote, "Every athlete representing the country gives their best and plays for the nation always. They need our constant support &amp; remember, that in sports you win some &amp; you lose some. Let's keep cricket or any other sport free from personal attacks. @arshdeepsinghh keep working hard.... and give the best reply by performing on the field. I am keenly following you. My best wishes."

Seeing so much support coming his way from superstar cricketers, Arshdeep will surely like to move past his costly drop from the Pakistan clash -- as Asif went onto hammer Bhuvi in the penultimate over of the run-chase and returned with an 8-ball 16 -- and bounce back in style when India take on Sri Lanka in their next game in the Super Four round at the continental tournament.

'Let's keep cricket or any other sport...' - Sachin Tendulkar comes in support of under-fire Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh was mercilessly trolled online after he dropped a simple catch in the end overs of the high-voltage India-Pakistan Super Four clash at the Asia Cup 2022 edition, in the UAE. After spinner Ravi Bishnoi came onto bowl the 18th over of Pakistan's 182-run chase, with big hitters Asif Ali-Khusdil Shah in the middle, and the Men in Green needing 34 off 18 balls. While Bishnoi induced a mistimed stroke from Asif's blade, Arshdeep dropped a sitter inside the inner circle to give him a reprieve before the batter's 8-ball 16 propelled Babar Azam &amp; Co. to a stunning five-wicket win following blitz from Md Rizwan (71) and Md Nawaz's 20-ball 42.&nbsp;

Thus, Arshdeep was trolled on social media platforms as the 23-year-old speedster faced immense heat with India going down to arch-rivals Pakistan in their Super Four opener, putting them in a must-win scenario going ahead. Recently, former Indian batter-turned-broadcaster Sanjay Manjrekar explained why he didn't ask about Arshdeep's blunder to captain Rohit Sharma during the post-match presentation ceremony at the iconic Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.&nbsp;

"Arshdeep would have taken that catch normally, almost with one eye closed, 99 times out of 100. Maybe a thought that this is India vs Pakistan. This is a crucial catch and Asif Ali got him to drop that. It's one of those things that happens. And that's why I didn't ask Rohit Sharma whether that catch was the turning point. Because it shouldn't be just one drop catch at a certain stage of the game. Pinning the blame on Arshdeep Singh, a young cricketer would not have been fair. You don't lose cricket matches because of one moment. There are many contributing factors with which you lose a game, because all of those factors come by," Manjrekar told Sports 18.

In an exclusive interview with&nbsp;Times Now, senior Indian pacer Mohammed Shami also didn't mince his words and slammed Arshdeep''s trolls. He said,&nbsp;"They only live to troll us, have no other job. When we perform well they don’t say you took a good catch but will troll us?" said Shami. "Agar dam hai toh real accounts se aaye na, fake account se toh koi bhi msg kar sakta hai (If you have the audacity, then comes from real accounts; anyone can message from fake accounts)."

IND vs PAK: Manjrekar reveals why he refrained from asking about Arshdeep's dropped catch to Rohit

Young India pacer Arshdeep Singh has been on the receiving end of intense criticism after he dropped a simple catch of Pakistan batter Asif Ali in the Super 4 clash between the arch-rivals in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday (September 04). India lost the game by five wickets as Pakistan successfully chased down the target of 182 runs in a last-over thriller in Dubai.

It was the second meeting between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2022 after the two teams had met during the group stage. Asked to bat first, India got off to a flying start courtesy of a 54-run stand between openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma before Virat Kohli's 60-run-knock propelled the team's total to a strong 181 runs in 20 overs.

In reply, Pakistan got off to a shaky start as their captain Babar Azam departed cheaply on just 14 off 10 balls. However, opener Mohammad Rizwan single-handedly kept Pakistan in the game with a gritty knock of 71 runs. He combined with Mohammad Nawaz (42) to take Pakistan closer to victory before the duo lost their wickets in quick succession.

Sensing an opportunity to make a comeback in the game, India fought back in the final few overs and had a great opportunity to turn the tide in their favour when Asif Ali gave an easy catch to Arshdeep in the 18th over. However, the youngster put it down as Ali went on to score 16 off 8 balls to take Pakistan home.

The likes of former India cricketers Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan and ex-Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez defended Arshdeep as the young pacer faced massive backlash on social media for his mistake. All three cricketers praised Arshdeep and asked the fans to cut him some slack.

'No one drops a catch purposely': Harbhajan, Hafeez defend Arshdeep Singh amid criticism after Pakistan defeat

Rohit Sharma-led India failed to defend a competitive 181/7 versus Pakistan in their Super Four face-off at the Asia Cup, in the UAE, on Sunday (September 04). Being asked to bat first, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, India rode on Virat Kohli's 44-ball 60 before Md Rizwan-Md Nawaz's blazing knocks and cameos from Asif Ali-Khushil Shah led to Pakistan's thrilling five-wicket win in the&nbsp;continental tournament.

After the defeat, many raised fingers at Arshdeep Singh for dropping one of the easiest catches -- in the 18th over to give a reprieve to Asif Ali -- whereas the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar (giving away 19 runs in the penultimate over) and India's middle order batters also got criticised. Moreover, fingers were also pointed out at Rohit's usage of bowlers. Some feel he could've brought back Bhuvi early for his final spell whereas the others didn't agree with him recalling inexperienced spinner Ravi Bishnoi in the 18th over (despite him nearly producing a wicket of Asif before Arshdeep's blunder). However, former all-rounder Irfan Pathan has fully backed Hitman and feels Rohit knows how to rotate his bowlers.

“A captain can be tested on two things, especially how he handles the bowler, especially when the bowlers are new and when you are defending too. These two times you get to realise and I have seen time and again Rohit Sharma is a fantastic leader. He manages the bowlers really well, he knows when to play which bowler,” Pathan said while speaking on Star Sports show ‘Follow the Blues’.

“Made Bishnoi bowl an over during the power play, he had taken a wicket but he still kept him waiting, did not let him bowl another over and got him again after Chahal’s over as he knows Bishnoi is a different kind of bowler, not a typical leg spin bowler, doesn’t bowl side arm so it was difficult for Pakistan to read his bowling style that is why he had given just 8 runs off his first two overs," Pathan added.

“Rohit Sharma manages the team very well and I hope that when the whole team is back, having Bumrah, Harshal Patel we’ll get to see a better performance from team India which we want to see specially if you see it from the lens of the World Cup,” Pathan further asserted while hoping for the Men in Blue to improve and produce better results with the return of injured pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel.

India's journey at the Asia Cup has been dented by the Pakistan defeat. They will now face Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, respectively, in their remaining encounters in the Super Four in a bid to qualify for the final. Will Rohit guide India to the summit clash? Only time will tell...

However, former all-rounder Irfan Pathan has fully backed Hitman and feels Rohit knows how to rotate his bowlers. “A captain can be tested on two things, especially how he handles the bowler, especially when the bowlers are new and when you are defending too. These two times you get to realise and I have seen time and again Rohit Sharma is a fantastic leader. He manages the bowlers really well, he knows when to play which bowler,” Pathan said while speaking on Star Sports show ‘Follow the Blues’. “Made Bishnoi bowl an over during the power play, he had taken a wicket but he still kept him waiting, did not let him bowl another over and got him again after Chahal’s over as he knows Bishnoi is a different kind of bowler, not a typical leg spin bowler, doesn’t bowl side arm so it was difficult for Pakistan to read his bowling style that is why he had given just 8 runs off his first two overs," Pathan added.

India's journey at the Asia Cup has been dented by the Pakistan defeat. They will now face Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, respectively, in their remaining encounters in the Super Four in a bid to qualify for the final. Will Rohit guide India to the summit clash?

'Rohit is a fantastic leader' - Irfan backs Hitman after India's Asia Cup journey dented by Pakistan loss

Arshdeep Singh was mercilessly trolled after dropping a sitter during Pakistan's riveting run-chase versus India when both sides locked horns in the Super Four clash at the Asia Cup 2022 edition on Sunday evening (September 04) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Being asked to bat first, India posted a competitive 181/7 -- thanks to Virat Kohli's 44-ball 60 -- and came back into the contest after dismissing Mohammad Rizwan (71) and Mohammad Nawaz (20-ball 42) in the end overs before pacer Arshdeep's dropped catch gave a reprieve to Asif Ali. The right-hander fell to the speedster in the final over but slammed a fine 8-ball 16 and finished proceedings, with Khusdil Shah's 11-ball 14*, for the Men in Green with five wickets in hand.

After the encounter, many have come hard at the 23-year-old Arshdeep, who still returned with a fine spell (3.5-0-27-0) and pushed the game to the penultimate ball despite the dropped catch. Now, senior pacer Mohammad Shami -- who was also trolled online following his 3.5-0-43-0 spell versus Babar Azam &amp; Co. in the 2021 T20 World Cup -- has lashed out at trolls and called them 'jobless'. Further, he has backed Arshdeep to move ahead from his setback and bounce back in style.

In an exclusive interview with&nbsp;Times Now, Shami didn't mince his words and said,&nbsp;"They only live to troll us, have no other job. When we perform well they don’t say you took a good catch but will troll us?" said Shami. "Agar dam hai toh real accounts se aaye na, fake account se toh koi bhi msg kar sakta hai (If you have the audacity, then comes from real accounts; anyone can message from fake accounts,)” he added.

The 32-year-old Shami&nbsp;backed Arshdeep to shine in the future and asserted further, "I’ve faced this and it doesn’t affect me because my country stands up for me. I’ll only say to Arshdeep, don’t let this hamper you because your talent is immense."

Given that Shami was also subject to massive trolling on religious lines, following India's heavy ten-wicket loss to Pakistan in last year's T20 WC face-off, he can certainly relate to Arshdeep's situation at present. The Punjab Kings' (PBKS) pacer remained calm and bowled a decent last over despite giving a reprieve to Asif Ali and will take a lot of learnings from the Pakistan clash.

After the match, former skipper Virat also extended his support to Arshdeep and said, “Anyone can commit mistakes under pressure. It was a big game, and the situation was a bit tight. I remember when I was playing my first Champions Trophy game against Pakistan, and I played a very poor shot off Shahid Afridi’s bowling. I kept looking at the ceiling till 5 in the morning. I was up all night and couldn’t sleep. I thought it would be the end of my career and never get another chance."

He added, "That’s a natural feeling. But there are senior players around you. We’ll come together again for the next game. So, it’s all about learning in a good environment and when a similar situation arrives again, you look forward to it and be ready."

'If you are brave enough...' - Shami blasts 'jobless' trolls slamming Arshdeep after Indo-Pak showdown

India and Pakistan produced another thriller in the ongoing Asia Cup when the Asian giants met in the Super Four clash, on Sunday evening (September 04), at the iconic Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. Being asked to bat first, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. made a competitive 181-7 thanks to Virat Kohli's 60-run knock but went down to Babar Azam's Men in Green by five wickets in a riveting encounter.&nbsp;

In pursuit of 182, Babar-led Pakistan's innings were held together by wicketkeeper-opener Mohammad Rizwan (71 off 51 balls) before Mohammad Nawaz's 20-ball 42 and Asif Ali-Khusdil Khan's cameos took their side home. In the 18th over, Pakistan needed 34 off 18 balls with Asif-Khusdil in the middle, following the dismissals of Nawaz-Rizwan. Rohit gave the ball to Ravi Bishnoi, who had removed Babar Azam, and the leg-spinner outfoxed Asif to produce a mistimed shot from his willow before pacer Arshdeep Singh, at short third, dropped a sitter. Eventually, Arshdeep removed Asif (8-ball 16) while bowling a decent last over -- with only seven to defend -- but the finisher&nbsp;played a key role in Pakistan's win.&nbsp;

Asif made full use of the dropped catch and hammered Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the penultimate over, with Pakistan churning out 19 runs from the senior pacer's final six deliveries. Thus, Pakistan beat India by five wickets to dent India's journey at the Asia Cup 2022 edition, being held in the UAE.

After the game, former skipper Virat backed Arshdeep and said at the post-match presser. “Anyone can commit mistakes under pressure. It was a big game, and the situation was a bit tight.

Watch: Rohit Sharma loses his cool as Arshdeep Singh drops a sitter in Indo-Pak Asia Cup showdown

Arshdeep Singh made heads turn for all the wrong reasons during the India-Pakistan Super Four clash in the ongoing Asia Cup, in the UAE. When both sides once again locked horns in the mega tournament, the young pacer didn't return with an expensive spell in the high-scoring contest but dropped a sitter in the 18th over of Men in Green's riveting run-chase of finisher Asif Ali. The batter went on to slam 16 off 8 deliveries and take Babar Azam &amp; Co. past the finish line in a 182-run chase in Dubai on Sunday evening (September 04).

Being asked to bat first, at the iconic Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue rode on quickfire knocks from the captain and vice-captain KL Rahul before Virat Kohli's 44-ball 60 and some handy hits from Deepak Hooda and Ravi Bishnoi took India to 181/7 in 20 overs. Pakistan had lost skipper Babar and Fakhar Zaman for cheap but Mohammad Rizwan (71) - Mohammad Nawaz's (20-ball 42)'s 73-run third-wicket kept them alive&nbsp;in the run-chase before Asif-Khusdil Shah (11-ball 14*)&nbsp; hits took them to a five-wicket win.&nbsp;

During the 18th over, Bishnoi kept it tight&nbsp;-- coming onto bowl with the equation reading 34 runs off 18 balls for Pakistan&nbsp;-- and ended up&nbsp;conceding&nbsp;only eight runs. However, he outfoxed Asif with his turn and pace but wasn't rewarded with Arshdeep dropping a sitter at the short third-man region. Following India's close defeat, in the last over, many have mercilessly trolled the 23-year-old speedster. Amid all this, former Indian opener-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra extended support to the under-fire youngster with a heartfelt gesture, changing his Twitter display picture with Arshdeep's image:

Aakash Chopra's heartfelt gesture for under-fire Arshdeep Singh wins hearts as India go down to Pakistan

Team India's young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has been&nbsp;targeted by trolls and abused on social media after he dropped a sitter against Pakistan in the Super Four clash between the two teams in Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday. Pakistan defeated India by five wickets in the game after chasing down the target of 182 runs on the penultimate delivery of the final over.

Arshdeep has faced vicious abuse and trolling on social media from a section of fans, with some editing his page on Wikipedia to show fake links with the separatist Khalistani movement. An unregistered user vandalised his page and replaced the word 'India' with 'Khalistan' at several places in his profile.

The changes were undone within 15 minutes by Wikipedia editors, however, the screenshots of his profile with the fake Khalistan links soon went viral on social media. The changes were made at 12:28&nbsp;AM IST on Monday. The user also changed the cricketer's name to "Major Arshdeep Singh Langra” before editing it to&nbsp;"Major Arshdeep Singh Bajwa". Arshdeep's cricketing stats were also tampered with.

<img alt="Arshdeep Singh wiki" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5f7c8fd9-9432-4c2f-a46f-7b162253660d" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Arshdeep%20Singh%20wikipedia.png" />

Taking cognizance of the matter, the Indian government has decided to quiz executives from Wikipedia. As per reports, the Ministry of Electronics &amp; IT on Monday summoned officials from the website in order to seek an explanation on how fake information was placed on the cricketer's page.

As per reports, the Indian government believes such malicious disinformation could disturb communal harmony and can also lead to a law and order situation for Arshdeep's family.

What went wrong for Arshdeep Singh during the India-Pakistan clash?

Asked to bat first, India got off to a good start courtsey of a 54-run stand between openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma before Virat Kohli's 60 powered them to a strong total of 181 runs. In reply, Pakistan got off to a poor start losing Babar Azam's wicket cheaply before Mohammad Rizwan played a brilliant knock of 71 runs put them in cruise control.

Pakistan were cruising towards victory when Indian bowlers fought back and picked up wickets in quick succession to spice up the contest. In the 18th over bowled by spinner Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep dropped a simple catch of Pakistan batter Asif Ali, with them needing 34 runs to win.&nbsp;

Had the catch been taken, the monetum could have gone India's way but Pakistan ended up winning the game comfortably at the end with Asif scoring 16 runs off 8 ball to take his team home. Despite dropping the catch, Arshdeep showed great heart as he bowled well in the 20th over with 7 runs to defend off the last six balls.

The left-arm pacer dragged the game to the penultimate delivery before Pakistan eventually managed to clinch victory in the last-over thriller. Amid criticism for the young pacer, several former cricketers like Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh and Mohammad Hafeez have tweeted to extend support to him.

Indian govt summons Wikipedia officials after Arshdeep Singh's page edited to show fake Khalistan link

India will be looking to get off to a flying start when they lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening game of Asia Cup 2022 at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Sunday (August 28). Rohit Sharma-led India will enter the tournament as the favourites having won the title a record seven times.

India won the last edition of the Asia Cup in 2018 under Rohit's captaincy and will be aiming to successfully defend their&nbsp;title in the UAE this year. India face some major selection headaches ahead of the marquee clash as senior batter Virat Kohli is all set to make his comeback for the team after a short break.

Kohli was rested from India's tour of West Indies and Zimbabwe following the conclusion of the England tour last month amid his batting struggles. India's vice-captain KL Rahul will also be under the spotlight having recently made his return from injury for the Men in Blue.

While Kohli and Rahul are likely to walk into the playing XI and slot into the top three, India are spoilt for choices in the middle-order with the likes of Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja competing for spots. In the bowling department as well, India will have to get their selection right in the absence of premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah.

Here is a look at India's predicted playing XI for&nbsp;clash against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2022:

Top order - Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli's return is one of the major talking points ahead of the Pakistan clash and pressure will be on the former India captain to deliver. Kohli has struggled with his form of late but has the team management's backing to turn it around. Rohit Sharma is likely to open with KL Rahul, who failed to fire against Zimbabwe recently but will be hopeful of finding his mojo.

Middle order - Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja

After their terrible top-order collapse against Pakistan at the T20 World Cup last year, India will be wary of the threat and would like to bat deep in the much-awaited encounter. Suryakumar Yadav faces tough competition for a spot in the XI from Deepak Hooda but is likely to be prefered. Rishabh Pant is expected to pip Dinesh Karthik as the first-choice keeper-batter while Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja will be two all-rounders in the team.

Spinners - Yuzvendra Chahal

With Jadeja in the line-up, India can afford to head into the clash with Yuzvendra Chahal as the only specialist spinner considering the tack in Dubai has helped fast bowlers in the past. Chahal's wicket-taking abilities in the middle-order will be crucial to India's chances in the game.

Pacers - Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh

With no Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel in the squad, India's pace attack looks thin on paper but Bhuvneshwar Kumar's experience will help the Men in Blue negate the duo's absence. Both Arshdeep and Avesh have impressed recently and will be hopeful of continuing their fine form against Pakistan. Hardik Pandya can be India's 4th pace-bowling option and his contribution with the ball will come in handy for the team.

India will be looking to get off to a flying start when they lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening game of Asia Cup 2022 at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Sunday (August 28).

India will be looking to get off to a flying start when they lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening game of Asia Cup 2022 at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Sunday (August 28). Rohit Sharma-led India will enter the tournament as the favourites having won the title a record seven times. India won the last edition of the Asia Cup in 2018 under Rohit's captaincy and will be aiming to successfully defend their title in the UAE this year. India face some major selection headaches ahead of the marquee clash as senior batter Virat Kohli is all set to make his comeback for the team after a short break. Kohli was rested from India's tour of West Indies and Zimbabwe following the conclusion of the England tour last month amid his batting struggles. India's vice-captain KL Rahul will also be under the spotlight having recently made his return from injury for the Men in Blue. While Kohli and Rahul are likely to walk into the playing XI and slot into the top three, India are spoilt for choices in the middle-order with the likes of Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja competing for spots. In the bowling department as well, India will have to get their selection right in the absence of premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Also Read: Heartwarming!

Virat Kohli to return! India's predicted playing XI for Asia Cup clash against Pakistan

Rohit Sharma-led Team India is gearing up for the forthcoming Asia Cup 2022 edition, which will be held in the UAE from August 27-September 11. Ahead of the upcoming tournament, which will be held in the shortest format as a dress rehearsal for the T20 World Cup, India was dealt with a massive blow with pacer Jasprit Bumrah being ruled out due to a back injury.&nbsp;

With no Bumrah, the onus will fall upon experienced campaigner Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The other pace options for India are Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan and all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Harshal Patel is also out of action due to injury. However, former batting coach Sanjay Bangar feels Bumrah won't be missed that in the death overs but his presence will be felt in the middle overs.&nbsp;

"Arshdeep is a good option who bowls good yorkers, has a lot of control and an excellent temperament to bowl in the death overs. So he (Bumrah) will not be missed that much in the death overs but the Indian team will definitely feel his absence in the middle overs," said Bangar on&nbsp;Star Sports&nbsp;show 'Follow the Blues'.

“Bhuvneshwar Kumar will have to take greater responsibility and that means bowling two overs at the start and then again bowling two overs in the last four overs, which is his strength. I feel the one over where the team uses Bumrah in the middle overs, there his absence will definitely be felt,” added Bangar.

Asia Cup: Former Indian batting coach explains why Jasprit Bumrah won't be missed much by Team India

Arshdeep Singh has been climbing up the ladder for Team India ever since his international debut. After impressing one and all with his skills, a steady head and ability to bowl in the powerplays as well as during the death overs, the 23-year-old has been able to replicate the same so far while donning the India jersey.

Thus, Arshdeep's stocks have risen in the recent past. In the just-concluded India-West Indies T20Is, in the Caribbean island, the left-arm pacer returned with the Player-of-the-Series award, with seven wickets at an average of&nbsp;16.14. He was exceptional in the death overs and has been included in the Asia Cup 2022 squad. Former Indian cricketer-turned-expert Sanjay Manjrekar feels Arshdeep is slightly above Avesh Khan in the pecking order at present with regard to the T20 World Cup squad selection.

"So, a race going on to clamour to get those seats on business class to Australia. And that's where I think you would have to say Arshdeep Singh has overtaken Avesh Khan. Avesh Khan is slightly behind there and that is something that's very interesting. You know this is a real competition going on for sports. Arshdeep Singh has certainly taken a little lead over Avesh Khan because he's doing exactly what is what Avesh Khan's role is - to go with the new ball in the middle and in the death as well,” Manjrekar told&nbsp;Sports 18.

On the other hand, former keeper-batter Kiron More said&nbsp;on Star Sports show Follow The Blues. "I’m also happy for Arshdeep Singh (for his Asia Cup selection). He has been performing well in the IPL, against West Indies, where he was the Player of the Series and bowled well. We were in search of a left-arm bowler, who we have found in Arshdeep Singh."

Arshdeep will surely like to repeat his heroics in the forthcoming Asian championship to seal his T20 WC spot as the mega event will kick off later this year, in October-November.

Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan shine as India thrash West Indies by 59 runs in 4th T20I, seal series

India were defeated by West Indies in the second T20I of the five-match series on Monday (August 01) at&nbsp;Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts. Being asked to bat first, Rohit Sharma-led India produced a below-par show as starts from Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja took the Men in Blue to 138 all-out in 19.4 overs.

In reply, Nicholas Pooran-led Windies won the game in the last over. While India’s bowlers —- barring Avesh Khan — were economical and managed to stretch the contest till the last over, lack of wickets at regular intervals and an impressive score with the bat sealed India’s fate in the 2nd T20I. Though the likes of Arshdeep Singh (1/16 in four overs), Hardik Pandya and R Ashwin completed their quota of overs, experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled only two overs, giving away only 12 runs in total.&nbsp;

Thus, captain Rohit was asked why he chose to prefer Arshdeep-Avesh-Hardik and didn't bowl Bhuvi after his first two overs, in the powerplays. At the post-match presentation, the Hitman stated, “We know Bhuvneshwar, what he brings to the table, but if you don’t give an opportunity to Avesh or Arshdeep you will never find out what it means to bowl at the death for India. They have done it in the IPL. Just one game, those guys don’t need to panic. They need backing and opportunity.”

Arshdeep and Avesh bowled two overs each whereas Hardik also filled in with an over during the death overs. Thus, it is clear that India are experimenting and willing to put youngsters in tough spots with an&nbsp;eye on the T20 World Cup, to be held in Australia from October-November.

Nonetheless, India will also aim to bounce back and return to winning ways when the third T20I is held between both sides, on Tuesday (August 02) at the same venue. The five-match series is levelled at 1-1.

Arshdeep Singh is raising his stature slowly and steadily. His ability to bowl at the death and also in the powerplay overs prompted the Punjab Kings (PBKS) management to retain him only with Mayank Agarwal before IPL 2022 mega auction.

Back then, Arshdeep wasn't even a capped Indian player. He continued his impressive run in the Punjab jersey in IPL 15 and now is in the scheme of things for Rohit Sharma-Rahul Dravid-led Indian team management for this year's T20 World Cup, in Australia, from October-November. Arshdeep's ability to remain calm and bowl the tough overs, with his variations, has stood out and he has even impressed in his two outings for the national side in the shortest format, one against England and the other during the ongoing India-West Indies T20I series opener, in Trinidad, on Friday (July 29). The 23-year-old has returned with 2/18 and 2/24 in his two T20Is and, thus, has impressed his senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

"The best thing about him is that he knows exactly what is required," Bhuvneshwar told reporters ahead of the second T20I on Monday (August 01) in St Kitts. "What kind of field setting is needed, how to bowl to each batsman - very few newcomers display that kind of maturity.

"Usually you learn these things as you play but he seems to have arrived with that kind of maturity. Even in the IPL in the last couple of years, he has performed consistently. He knows exactly what he wants to do, he thinks a lot about his game," Bhuvi added.

Talking about Rohit-led India, they will meet the Nicholas Pooran-led West Indies in the second T20I on Monday evening. The visitors will rely on Bhuvi-Arshdeep-led bowling attack to shine once again and take a 2-0 lead in the series after hammering the hosts by 68 runs in the first T20I.

Arshdeep Singh is raising his stature slowly and steadily. His ability to bowl at the death and also in the powerplay overs prompted the Punjab Kings (PBKS) management to retain him only with Mayank Agarwal before IPL 2022 mega auction.

Arshdeep Singh is raising his stature slowly and steadily. His ability to bowl at the death and also in the powerplay overs prompted the Punjab Kings (PBKS) management to retain him only with Mayank Agarwal before IPL 2022 mega auction. Back then, Arshdeep wasn't even a capped Indian player. He continued his impressive run in the Punjab jersey in IPL 15 and now is in the scheme of things for Rohit Sharma-Rahul Dravid-led Indian team management for this year's T20 World Cup, in Australia, from October-November. Arshdeep's ability to remain calm and bowl the tough overs, with his variations, has stood out and he has even impressed in his two outings for the national side in the shortest format, one against England and the other during the ongoing India-West Indies T20I series opener, in Trinidad, on Friday (July 29). The 23-year-old has returned with 2/18 and 2/24 in his two T20Is and, thus, has impressed his senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

"What kind of field setting is needed, how to bowl to each batsman - very few newcomers display that kind of maturity.

WI vs IND: 'Best thing about him is.....' - Bhuvneshwar Kumar on young pacer Arshdeep Singh

Team India is at its best in the ongoing ODI series versus hosts West Indies, in the Caribbean island. The second-stringed Shikhar Dhawan-led Indian team has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three ODIs and will go for the kill in the final match, on Wednesday (July 27).&nbsp;

After the ODIs, the action will shift to the five-match T20I series where regular captain Rohit Sharma will take charge of the side. During the forthcoming T20I series versus the two-time winners West Indies, Rohit &amp; Co. will be eager to finalise their squad for this year's T20 World Cup, to be held in Australia from October-November.

Ahead of the five T20Is, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has backed a rising Indian talent to make it to the T20 WC and Asia Cup squads. "Mark my words. Arshdeep will play the third ODI and make an impact too. Arshdeep has the art, and he uses his mind while bowling. He bowls sensibly and knows how to take wickets. He can be a fantastic option for the Indian team for T20 World Cup and maybe for Asia Cup as well. Asia Cup will be held in Dubai and he can be successful being a left-arm pacer,” Kaneria said on his YouTube channel.&nbsp;

“I want to also see Natarajan playing for India again. He can make an impact just like he did in Australia. He is a fantastic bowler, but India has currently got an incredible bowling lot. Team management has to decide how to utilize its bowlers,” Kaneria further added.

Arshdeep made his international debut during the India-England three-match T20I series opener, in Southampton early this month. He returned with 2 for 18 in 3.3 overs and has made a big impact in IPL with his variations and ability to bowl at the death as well as during the powerplay overs.

'Fantastic option': Former Pakistan cricketer backs young Indian player for T20 WC & Asia Cup squads

Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has questioned the Indian team management for persisting with an underperforming Virat Kohli. While Kohli's century-drought continues since late 2019, he has failed to even cross the fifty-run mark in India's ongoing tour of England.

During the one-off Test in Edgbaston, Kohli had scores of 11 and 20. While he was rested for the three-match T20I series opener, he got favoured over in-form Deepak Hooda in the remaining two games but only ended with 12 runs overall. After missing the first ODI versus Jos Buttler &amp; Co., Kohli returned for Thursday's (July 14) second ODI but once again failed, scoring a 25-ball 16. Thus, questions are being raised on his form and also on why he is being rested for the West Indies T20Is -- in the Caribbean island -- despite poor form.

Earlier, Kapil Dev had questioned Kohli's place. Now, Kaneria has joined the bandwagon and lashed out at the BCCI selection committee, headed by Chetan Sharma, and the Rahul Dravid-led team management for persisting with Kohli and not giving 'talented cricketers' such as Hooda, Suryakumar Yadav, etc. a longer rope.

"When world class off spinner Ashwin can be dropped then why not Virat where is Deepak Hooda why the selection committee and management playing with carriers of Indian talented cricketers. Who is the person playing Ludo with Indian and fans of Indian team, Arshdeep, Deepak Hooda and Surya needs to give them full confidence they are back bone of Indian Cricket," Kaneria said exclusively on the Koo app.

After India lost the second ODI versus England, by 100 runs, captain Rohit Sharma backed under-fire Kohli when he was asked about the continous chatter regarding the star batter's lean patch.&nbsp;

"Why is it happening, I do not understand? Someone who has made so many runs is being questioned over his form. I don't understand this." He added, "Virat Kohli is such a great batsman. He has been playing for so many years and he has won so many matches for the team. He doesn't need any reassurance. You can see quality of player, form ups &amp; down in everyone's career. Look at how many runs he has scored &amp; centuries scored. Look at his averages. He won many matches for India. He is great Batsman."

'Who is playing Ludo?': Former Pakistan spinner questions India's decision to play out-of-form Virat Kohli

Hardik Pandya will be leading Team India for the first time in his career when they take on Ireland in the first T20I of the two-match series at The Village in Dublin on Sunday (June 26). India's Test squad is currently playing a warm-up game against Leicestershire ahead of the rescheduled fifth Test against England while the Hardik-led second-string Indian T20I side will be in action against Ireland at the same time.

Though it is not a full-strength team, India still have the likes of Surykaumar Yadav, Hardik, Ishan Kishan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar among others at their disposal as the preparations for T20 World Cup 2022 continue. Hardik, who is coming off a brilliant IPL 2022 for Gujarat Titans followed by an impressive outing against South Africa at home, will be keen to get off to a winning start as captain.

Hardik led his team Gujarat Titans (GT) to their maiden IPL title in their debut season this year and was elevated to captaincy for the Ireland T20Is in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma and vice-captain KL Rahul. Despite missing a number of key players, India have fielded a strong squad for the two-match rubber.

Suryakumar will be making his comeback from injury after missing the home series against South Africa earlier this month while Sanju Samson and Rahul Tripathi are also part of the squad to bolster the batting line-up. Ishan Kishan and Ruturak Gaikwad are expected to open the batting and Deepak Hood might get a chance in the top four.

India also have a strong bowling line-up which will be spearheaded by the experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The Men in Bue might hand young pace sensation Umran Malik his India debut in the series-opener or play pacer Arshdeep Singh, who has shown a lot of promise in the IPL over the last few seasons.&nbsp;

Dinesh Karthik is certain to continue in the lower-middle order as the designated finisher in the side while Yuzvendra Chahal will lead the spin pack with Axar Patel to support him. India will be hopeful of making a winning start to the series.

A 'one in 15 million' event, as described UK's air traffic control provider NATS, caused the air traffic meltdown last week. The chief of NATS cited a flight plan with two identically named markers as reason for the air-traffic chaos.

On August 28, 1500 flights were cancelled as a result of which thousands of passengers were stranded abroad for days. The disturbance came during one of the busiest travel periods of the summer.

"This was a one in 15 million chance," NATS CEO Martin Rolfe told the BBC.

"We've processed 15 million flight plans with this system up until this point and never seen this before."

A few days ago Rolfe said that the problem would not be repeated.

On Wednesday, NATS published a report that said that the flight plan included two identically named but separate waypoint markers outside UK airspace, which forced the system to enter fail-safe mode.

"In these circumstances, the system could not reject the flight plan without a clear understanding of what possible impact it may have had. Nor could it be allowed through and risk presenting air traffic controllers with incorrect safety-critical information," NATS said.

It said that the flight plan was complying with Eurocontrol's flight planning distribution system.

UK's Civil Aviation Regulator (CAA) has said that it will review circumstances surrounding the failure.

"If there is evidence to suggest NATS may have breached its statutory and licensing obligations we will consider whether any further action is necessary," Rob Bishton, Joint-Interim Chief Executive at the UK's CAA, said in a statement.

This may mean that NATS would end up footing some of the bill for the chaos that ensued last week.

According IATA, the global airline group, the episode is likely to cost airlines up to 100 million pounds ($126 million) as travellers whose flights were cancelled would claim back expenses for the hotels or the tickets.

Britain-based airline easyJet said the NATS report left some questions unanswered. It added that though it welcomed the review, it believed a more wide-ranging examination of resources and IT systems was necessary.

"A full independent and wide-ranging review of NATS is needed to ensure it is fit for purpose today and in the future," easyJet said.

India vs SA, T20Is: 'He'll do very well' - Suresh Raina makes bold prediction for star Indian batter

Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) ended their run in IPL 2022 with a five-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), who finished in the eighth position. As&nbsp;Punjab have managed to reach the playoffs only on two occasions since the inaugural season, they will be hugely disappointed as Mayank &amp; Co. looked a strong unit on paper but never gained consistency throughout the season.

Despite their failure to enter the playoffs, Punjab still have quite a few positives in the form of performances from Arshdeep Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Liam Livingstone, etc. Due to his economical returns despite bowling the tough overs, Arshdeep reaped rewards and was named in India's 18-man squad for the upcoming T20Is versus South Africa, to kick off on June 09.

Following Arshdeep's inclusion, former Punjab and Team India opener Virender Sehwag lauded the pacer and compared him to former Indian speedsters Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra. "Arshdeep has impressed me because he bowls two of the last three overs for Punjab Kings. He may not have that many wickets, but his economy rate is brilliant. He is the bowler who bowls one over with the new ball and two in the slog overs. I have only seen Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra do that during my time. Now, its Arshdeep and Bumrah, and Bhuvneshwar as well. It is a very difficult job to bowl in the slog overs,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.

Talking about Arshdeep's numbers in IPL 15, he ended with 10 scalps from 14 games at a splendid economy rate of 7.70. Despite his consistency, Punjab failed to live upto expectations and have bowed out of the 15th season. Arshdeep, meanwhile, will now shift his focus to delivering for Team India in the SA T20Is at home.

'I've only seen Zaheer, Nehra do that during my time' - Virender Sehwag lavishes praise on Punjab pacer

IPL 2022 edition has seen many young and uncapped players make a mark. Among the Indian players, the likes of Umran Malik, Mohsin Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma and many others have made a mark for their respective franchises.

During Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) encounter, which was match no. 64 in IPL 15, Arshdeep was the lone shining aspect for Punjab in their 17-run loss at the hands of Rishabh Pant &amp; Co. While he was a bit expensive, the 23-year-old still ended with 4-0-37-3, removing the likes of Lalit Yadav, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shardul Thakur.&nbsp;

In his fourth IPL season, Arshdeep might not have a lot of wickets to show, he still has 10 scalps in 13 games at an economy rate of&nbsp;7.82.&nbsp;

Thus, former Indian pacer Irfan Pathan hailed Arshdeep for keeping some big hitters like MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, etc. quiet during the end overs and leading the bowling attack despite Kagiso Rabada's presence.

"Arshdeep is a special player. He is young, confident and accurate. All these qualities distinguish him from the bowlers of his age,” said former India fast bowler Irfan Pathan on Star Sports.&nbsp;"He's keeping big players like MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya or someone else silent in the death overs and that speaks volumes about the kind of talent he possesses," he opined

"His growth has been phenomenal. Despite the presence of a proven international pacer in Kagiso Rabada, an uncapped Indian seamer is getting the recognition proves how good a talent he is. He's going to be the next big thing for Punjab Kings," Irfan added.&nbsp;

Among the Indian players, the likes of Umran Malik, Mohsin Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma and many others have made a mark for their respective franchises.
