The young Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh looking to cement his place as a regular starter in the Indian team. This was evident from the kind of lethal fast bowling the 25-year-old produced for his domestic side Punjab in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25.
A deadly swing balling spell from Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep took advantage of the favorable spin bowling conditions in Vadodara during the early hours after Punjab won the toss and opted to bowl first. Arshdeep was almost unplayable in the initial hours of the game, troubling the opening pair of skippers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Arshin Kulkani.
The Maharashtra skipper was especially disappointed with the lateral seam movement from Arshdeep who soon gave away his wicket off just 5 balls. Top-order batter Siddhesh Veer was the next victim of the swing sensation as he dropped a rare out-swing delivery and returned to the pavilion on a duck. Youngster Kulkarni was the next Maharashtra to be dismissed by Arshdeep. The 19-year-old scored an impeccable century against a good opposition in a crucial game before delivering a simple catch to the Punjab skipper Abhishek Sharma.
In total, Arshdeep bowled 9 overs for Punjab and took 3 crucial wickets giving away 56 runs in that spell. A clinical performance from Arshdeep helped Punjab stop Maharashtra from going for a huge total in the 3rd quarter-final of the tournament. Arshdeep had a coveted career for Punjab taking 66 first-class wickets in 21 games. The youngster has impressed fans and analysts playing for India in the T20I format. Arshdeep has taken a total of 95 wickets in 60 T20I matches for the national side.
