1st T20I: Idea Was To Hit The Seam As Hard As Possible, Says Arshdeep Singh
Put to bat first, India posted 175/6 on board, riding on Hardik Pandya’s unbeaten 59, before the bowlers took charge. Arshdeep was quick to get his side crucial breakthroughs in the powerplay, dismissing Quinton de Kock for a duck in the opening over and then picking Tristan Stubbs in the third over.
Notably, the pacer picked up a wicket each in the only two overs he bowled, finishing with 2-14 in two overs. When asked about his thought process as he headed into the game to defend the total, Arshdeep said, “The thought process is simple: just go there and try to use as much help as there is in the wicket and try to get the team early wickets. I feel like if you were hitting the seam hard, there was something in the wicket, either it was bouncing more or seaming in or out.
