India pacer Arshdeep Singh, who was forced to warm the benches in the five-Test England tour earlier in July, will be raring to go when he dons the India jersey for Asia Cup next. Arshdeep was a crucial part of India’s last T20 WC win and he will hope to make the cut for next year too.
Thus ahead of the Asia Cup, apart from his bowling, Arshdeep has decided to hone his hitting skills by practising specific match scenarios and boost India’s lower-order batting, given their struggles are no secret.
In a video shared by the pacer on his YouTube channel, Arshdeep could be seen targeting 15 runs off six balls with fielders placed at deep cover, long off, long on, deep midwicket and deep square.
Facing left-arm spin, Arshdeep reached the target by hitting a six with one ball remaining. In the video, the fast bowler was also heard recounting his father’s advice, who told him to avoid stepping out and instead to rely on his natural power. His father had encouraged him to plant his feet and swing freely, trusting his strength to clear the boundary.
Watch the video below.
ALSO READ:
The Indian pace department looks very settled with Arshdeep Singh, alongside Harshit Rana and talismanic Jasprit Bumrah. However, with seam all-rounder Hardik Pandya also in the squad, it will be a toss-up between Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana to pair Bumrah with the new ball.
Nevertheless, Arshdeep is a strong contender to be in the playing XI and his performance will be crucial in determining his chance for the T20 World Cup in 2026.
