After being trolled for delivering too many no-balls in international cricket, pacer Arshdeep Singh bounced back in style as he regained his status of being one of the best death bowlers in the current times. In the recent IPL match against Mumbai Indians, the 23-year-old pacer not only defended 16 runs off the last over for Punjab Kings but also finished the game with the figures of 4/29.

The young pacer has been receiving a lot of praise from all over the world but one praise that he will definitely remember for many years was from India and Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma.
