Every day brings a new test for the bowlers on the international cricket field, where sometimes even poor performance creates a unique record in the pages of history. In an exciting and high-scoring match played between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ), the young and dynamic left arm fast bowler of the Indian team, Arshdeep Singh, gave away a lot of runs in his quota of overs while bowling. At a time when the batsmen of the opposing team were hitting fours and sixes, a total of 70 runs were added to Arshdeep’s account. However, despite proving to be expensive, Arshdeep Singh achieved some special successes during his bowling, due to which he has joined an exclusive and rare list of great bowlers of India. During this match, he has equaled a special record of Team India’s former legendary pacer Javagal Srinath and star bowler Mohammed Shami, which is now being discussed in full swing in the cricket circles.
#1. Arshdeep Singh’s expensive spell: How he became the center of discussion even after giving 70 runs
In the game of cricket, bowlers are often evaluated on the basis of total runs and wickets given by them. When Arshdeep Singh came to bowl the last over of his spell in the match against New Zealand, 70 runs were registered in his name on the scoreboard. In the death overs, the opposing batsmen sent their balls flying around the field. Despite this, the captain and the team management remained confident in him because Arshdeep has the ability to take wickets in pressure situations. However, despite conceding so many runs, the question was being raised among cricket fans and experts whether this performance was their failure or a part of the era of modern cricket where such washing of bowlers in T20 and ODI matches has become common.
#1. Arshdeep Singh joins the club of Javagal Srinath and Mohammed Shami
Despite proving to be expensive, Arshdeep Singh took some important wickets in this match which put him in the category of India’s legendary fast bowlers. During their international careers, many of India’s great fast bowlers—like Javagal Srinath, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami—have faced difficult times where they proved costly in innings, but achieved great heights on the strength of their bowling. By touching a special figure of wickets during this match, Arshdeep has equaled the record of Mohammed Shami and Srinath, where despite giving away runs, the bowler achieved success for his team at the most critical moments. This record is a witness to the fact that Arshdeep has now settled into the role of a mature and main strike bowler at the international level.
#1. Challenge of bowlers in modern cricket: When grounds and pitches become run machines
In today’s time, the format of cricket has completely suited the batsmen. Short boundaries, flat and flat pitches and modern shots of the batsmen have made life very difficult for the bowlers. Swing bowlers like Arshdeep Singh, who is primarily known for swinging the new ball and his yorkers in the death overs, have at times been brutally beaten when bowling in such conditions. Cricket pundits believe that this match has been a big learning curve for a young bowler like Arshdeep. Equaling the records of the greats on such a big stage proves that his talent and skill is of a high level, he just needs to bring a little more consistency in his line and length.
#1. Arshdeep Singh plays an important role in the upcoming series and strategy of Team India.
The Indian team management has always emphasized that the players should be supported even in their bad days so that their confidence does not weaken. Arshdeep Singh is one of India’s most reliable death over bowlers in T20 and ODI formats. The way he did not give up and fought till the end even after giving away 70 runs in this match, shows his strong mental strength. Keeping in mind the upcoming matches and big series, the coach and captain will definitely sit with Arshdeep and work on the strategic shortcomings of this match, so that he can bowl more efficiently in the future.
