Arshdeep Singh bowled a golden spell in the powerplay to dismantle LSG’s explosive top order, including Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran. His remarkable spell impressed fans on social media as they hyped him with praise.
As the playoff race gets trickier, PBKS faced off against LSG in the 54th game of the IPL 2025 season. Prabhsimran Singh’s stunning 91 off 48 balls powered Punjab to an enormous total of 236 runs in the first inning.
However, LSG cracked under the pressure of the chase as the top order completely surrendered to Arshdeep Singh in the powerplay of the second inning.
Arshdeep Singh Makes A Mockery Of LSG’s Top Order
LSG have survived on their openers this season, as their start is crucial for the team’s success. However, Arshdeep Singh exploited Lucknow’s strength by dismissing Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran in the powerplay.
Marsh holed out to Nehal Wadhera to walk back on a 5-ball duck. While Markram was cleaned up with a fiery delivery, Pooran was beaten by Arshdeep before the umpire judged him LBW.
In 3 overs that he bowled in the powerplay, Arshdeep picked up 3 wickets and conceded only 10 runs. His spell reduced LSG to 27/3.
Meanwhile, fans were left highly impressed by the left-arm fast bowler, as many called him an underrated gem. A few fans also appealed to include Singh in India’s Test squad.
