T20 World Cup: India pacer Arshdeep Singh credited the team’s depth and collective strength after the Men in Blue clinched the ICC Men's T20 World Cup title with a commanding win over New Zealand in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
Speaking of the squad’s confidence throughout the tournament, Arshdeep said the belief came from the sheer number of game-changers in the side. “And it’s 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’s just the topping on the cake,” he told broadcasters after the game.
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’s chase. Arshdeep clarified that he immediately apologised for the incident. “I 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’t hit him intentionally.”
