In T20s: Arshdeep Singh attributed his wicket-taking opportunities to the pressure exerted by Jasprit Bumrah at the other end, following India’s five-wicket victory over Australia in the third T20I at the Bellerive Oval on Sunday.
In his first game of the five-match series, Arshdeep was named Player of the Match for his spell of 3-35 that kept Australia to 186/6, which India chased down with nine balls to spare. “I’ve just been working on my process, trusting my skills, and executing the plans I’ve practised. It feels great to contribute when I get the chance.”
“Yes (enjoying bowling to aggressive batters), definitely. When someone is coming hard at you, there’s always a chance to pick up wickets, and when someone like Bumrah is bowling from the other end, batters often take more risks against me, that gives me wicket-taking opportunities.”
