Arshdeep Singh hones yorker skills, looks better than Umran Malik at nets

Umran Malik got an extended spell during India's first training session, but it was his colleague Arshdeep Singh who looked way more impressive at the nets, which included honing of his yorker skills. However, both the juniors might have to wait for their turn with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan ahead in the pack. If push comes to shove, Arshdeep looks a better bet than Umran.

The faster he unleashed his thunderbolts, the more ferocious was Pant's intent with the willow.

So who was the better bowler of the two? Arshdeep certainly looked to possess multi-dimensional skill sets compared to the Jammu speedster.
