Apart from this, he was also seen praising Varun Chakraborty who won the title of ‘Player of the Match’.
“It feels great, I am grateful that my hard work has paid off and I will try to continue taking wickets for the country,” Arshdeep said in a video released by the BCCI. Apart from this, Arshdeep Singh praised Varun Chakravarthy for his ability to take wickets in the middle overs and giving him a good platform to bowl against lower order batsmen in the death overs.
During this, he said, “Varun is bowling exceptionally these days, because taking wickets in the middle overs is very important in T20I. If the batsmen are not out at that time, they can score runs quickly later, making it difficult to bowl in the death overs. But ever since Varun has come in, he has taken a lot of wickets in the middle overs and given us a good platform to bowl in the death overs against the lower order. I hope he continues to take wickets like this.” It can be seen in the video that Arshdeep apologizes to Yuzvendra Chahal in a funny manner by holding his ear.
