He has followed Wasim Akram very closely: Rajkumar Sharma praises Arshdeep Singh

India’s newest pace sensation Arshdeep Singh has recently caught the limelight with his incredible death bowling. After a successful season in the IPL, Arshdeep got called up for Ireland and England series, making his debut in the 1st T20I against the latter.

Playing in only his second T20I against the West Indies, Arshdeep bowled with magnificent figures of 2/24 in four overs to help his side cruise to a comfortable victory.

His outstanding execution of yorkers and slower deliveries has been the talking point of the town, with various pundits voicing their opinions.

Rajkumar Sharma on the young pacer

“It seems like Arshdeep Singh has followed Wasim Akram very closely as he holds the ball in his right hand while running to hide it from the batter. It’s good to see that he’s a thinking cricketer. He is still very young and has to learn a lot of things. But he is a very promising and a very intelligent cricketer,” 

Former Indian cricketer Reetinder Singh Sodhi also expressed his opinion

“Arshdeep has performed well whenever he’s been given the opportunity. While he wasn’t a part of the playing XI for the last few games, it seemed like he had been working very hard in the nets. It’s never easy to bowl the yorker, especially in T20 cricket. He is definitely ready for international cricket.”

Arshdeep looks to seal his spot for the T20 World Cup

With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held in Australia later this year, Arshdeep will look to make full use of his chances to secure a berth in the already star-studded Indian bowling line-up.
