Arshdeep told me he was not bothered about the trolls; Bhuvneshwar should have bowled the 20th over vs Pak & SL in Asia Cup, says coach Balwant Rai

Pakistan. It was a match that India went on to lose. If India had won that game chances are Arshdeep would not have had to face the ugly hate that he eventually did. What was heartening to see was the immense support that Arshdeep received from the cricketing fraternity overall. The selectors and team management have also continued to back him and he has been picked in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup as well. TimesofIndia.com spoke to Arshdeep's childhood coach who said that Arshdeep was at no point bothered about or affected by the trolling on social media. "Arshdeep is a brave guy and doesn't care about being trolled. He dropped a catch but still grabbed the opportunity with both hands when his captain asked him to bowl the last over," Jaswant Rai, Arshdeep's childhood coach told TimesofIndia.com. Arshdeep in fact was given the 20th over to bowl in both the Super 4 matches that India lost (vs Pakistan and vs Sri Lanka). In both matches Arshdeep was asked to defend 7 runs.

If the target was more than 10 runs, Arshdeep would have turned the game on its head," Jaswant Rai further told TimesofIndia.com. "The never-say-die attitude was visible in his action, body language, and in his bowling. He gave his all in both the matches. He has got the captain's support. He is young. When you have a captain like Rohit and a senior like Virat in the team, there will always be a lot of support for a youngster like Arshdeep," Rai, who Arshdeep began training under at the age of 13 further said.
