Indian promising fast bowler Arshdeep Singh unleashed carnage against South Africa during the first ODI of the three-game series held yesterday at Johannesburg.
After Aiden Markram chose to bat first after winning the coin flip formality, Arshdeep wreaked havoc with his exceptional skills. He clipped two wickets in his opening over itself to shatter the host’s confidence.
Singh later went on a rampage as he picked five wickets to secure his career maiden five-wicket haul. It was a dream outing for the young lad as he got a chance to shut down the critics who had earlier second-guessed his selection for the 50-over format series.
While the entire nation stood up to applaud the bowler, his peer, Suryakumar Yadav, didn’t lag behind. He shared a story via his official Instagram handle and captioned it,
“Sher Singh Rana ko hareyga tu? Hai dum?”
What Did Suryakumar Yadav Say To Arshdeep In Viral Video?
The praise from SKY comes days after he was caught on camera having a go at Arshdeep Singh on the team bus. While loading his luggage, SKY snapped at Singh for an undisclosed reason and looked genuinely pissed. Yadav is generally known to be a fun-loving guy. Thus, his other side took the fans by surprise.
Perhaps SKY was trying to fire up the fast bowler ahead of the crucial series. Arshdeep’s form has gone downhill ever since the Asia Cup loss. He has been in and out of the team due to which his confidence took a hit.
Thus, Suryakumar Yadav’s tough treatment reignited a fire in Arshdeep to prove himself on the field. Additionally, SKY’s praise-worthy words indicate that things are well between the two teammates.
Perhaps the team bus exchange worked as a blessing in disguise for Arshdeep Singh, who rediscovered himself months ahead of the crucial T20 World Cup.
Competition is tough, and thus, every game counts for Arshdeep to make a difference and strengthen his candidature for the final 15-men squad for the mega ICC event.
