"Arshdeep Has Struggled A Lot": Elated Parents Of Pacer After T20 World Cup Squad Selection

Young India pacer Arshdeep Singh is on a roll, since he made his international debut against England in T20Is this year. The Punjab-born pacer has been unstoppable since then, reaching new heights with every game. He is currently one of the most economical bowlers of India, who is known for stopping the run-flow in death overs. But, Arshdeep also had to face a lot of criticism when he dropped a relatively easy catch of Asif Ali, during the Asia Cup Super 4 clash against Pakistan. The selectors, however, showed faith in him and he got named in India's T20 World Cup squad. Elated with his inclusion, Arshdeep's parents called it a dream come true.

England needed just 25 minutes at the Oval to complete a nine-wicket win over the Proteas in barely more than two days' actual playing time that secured a 2-1 series victory. It also meant England had won six out of seven Tests under a new leadership duo of Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum -- a far cry from a record of one win in 17 matches that marked the end of Joe Root's reign as skipper. New Zealand, the World Test champions were beaten 3-0 before England defeated India in a one-off Test, held over from last year because of coronavirus concerns in the Indian camp, prior to seeing off the Proteas. All of those triumphs were marked by a willingness to engage in dashing run-chases, while removing as much pressure from players as possible, albeit much of England's success, as South Africa captain Dean Elgar noted, was built on traditional fundamentals of the red-ball game.
