"Think India Have Found Their New Zaheer Khan": Former Pakistan Star On Pacer

Since making his debut in the Indian Premier League in 2019, Arshdeep Singh's stocks have been on the rise. The pacer had an excellent IPL 2022 season and went on to make his international debut during the tour of England. He then bagged seven wickets during the tour of West Indies. He played for India at the Asia Cup in last month, but didn't have the best of outings. However, the young pacer made a strong comeback in the first T20I against South Africa earlier this week.

"Adaptability is the big motive", says India Pacer Arshdeep Singh After Win in 1st T20I vs South Africa

Young India left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh said "adaptability" is the main focus of the team ahead of the T20 World Cup, starting later in October in Australia. The T20 World Cup will be held in Australia from October 16 to November 13, and Arshdeep said the Indian bowlers are geared up for the tough challenge that awaits them. "Adaptability is the big motive of our team. The main motive is adapting to the situations and demands of the team, whatever the situations and conditions are," said the 23-year-old pacer, who made a sensational comeback after a disappointing outing in the Asia Cup recently.

And two young Indian pacers weren't complaining. Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar, coming into the playing XI in place of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah, proved they can be just as good, if not better than their senior pros with a brilliant exhibition of swing bowling to set up India's eight-wicket win over the Proteas on Wednesday night. SCORECARD | AS IT HAPPENEDThe 'English-like' conditions saw South Africa losing half the side even before the team total had reached double figures. The visitors couldn't recover from that abysmal start and ended up with 106 for eight in 20 overs. The Indian batsmen didn't have it easy in their chase either as long as Kagiso Rabada was in operation. He dismissed skipper Rohit Sharma for a duck as he troubled the batters with his pace and movement. When Anrich Nortje accounted for Virat Kohli, some jitters were felt. However, KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav took their time to wear out the South African bowlers and chipped away at the paltry target with an unbroken partnership of 93 to take India home.

Arshdeep Singh, Deepak Chahar Set It Up As India Win Low-scoring Game vs South Africa

Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar hit the South Africans hard with some magical swing bowling before Suryakumar Yadav's little gem on a difficult track ensured an easy eight-wicket victory for India in the first T20 International in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday. A target of 107 on a pitch with underlying moisture and more than waist high bounce at times was a struggle before Suryakumar (50 not out in 33 balls) released the pressure created by KL Rahul (51 not out, 56 balls) as India won the game in 16.4 overs to go 1-0 up in three-match series.

Arshdeep Singh returned to India colours in fabulous fashion as he produced a grand show of swing bowling, sending back three South African batters in an over to break the back of the Proteas top order. Arshdeep came in to bowl the second over of the innings in the 1st T20I at Thiruvananthapuram after Deepak Chahar had already given India a good start by sending back captain Temba Bavuma.

Umesh Yadav and all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed was added to India's squad for the three-match T20 series against South Africa, starting here on Wednesday. Senior pacer Mohammad Shami, who had missed the recently-concluded T20 series against Australia after contracting COVID-19 infection, is yet to recover completely and thus won't be a part of the T20 matches against the Proteas.

"Shown Temperament And Composure To Handle Pressure": India Coach On Arshdeep Singh

India batting coach Vikram Rathour has praised young pacer Arshdeep Singh for showing the hunger and ability to perform in pressure situations despite being new to international cricket. Talking to reporters, the batting coach said that Singh has been impressive in his short career and has shown promise bowling in the death overs. "At this level, we are not really telling them anything. Arsh has been doing pretty well in IPL in the last 2-3 years and he has done well bowling in the death overs. We just support them to follow their plans, and strengths and they know where to bowl to each batter. They have their own plans, their own way of bowling to batters.
