Speaking of the squad\u2019s confidence throughout the tournament, Arshdeep said the belief came from the sheer number of game-changers in the side. \u201cAnd it\u2019s a fantastic team, there are match-winners everywhere in this team, so there was belief from the start that we would perform well, and whatever the result is, that\u2019s just the topping on the cake,\u201d he told broadcasters after the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The left-arm pacer also addressed the brief on-field moment with Daryl Mitchell, when a throw from his follow-through struck the batter during New Zealand\u2019s chase. Arshdeep clarified that he immediately apologised for the incident. \u201cI went to say sorry to Mitchell. My throw reverse-swung a bit too much and it hit his body, so I told him that I didn\u2019t hit him intentionally.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite playing a key role in India\u2019s bowling effort, Arshdeep admitted that the scale of the achievement had not yet fully sunk in. \u201cI don\u2019t really know what the emotion feels like right now, sir. At the moment it feels good because we\u2019re winning, but in two or three days we\u2019ll know when the emotions sink in, how it actually feels.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Even after the high-pressure final, Arshdeep ended the night in a light-hearted mood, hinting at celebrations off the field. \u201cI\u2019ll go upstairs and bring my phone now, I\u2019ve thought of ten or fifteen reels, let\u2019s see how many we make. But it\u2019s been great, I enjoyed it a lot.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
