The magic began with a brilliant delivery to Reeza Hendricks, who fell victim to Arshdeep's precision. The bowler celebrated his success with visible enthusiasm, setting the tone for what was to follow. Rassie van der Dussen, a seasoned batsman with an impressive record, became Arshdeep's next target. The delivery, a full-length ball seaming across the right-hander, left Dussen with no room for error. Attempting a flick in the leg side, he missed, and the ball struck his front pad, prompting a loud appeal. The umpire's finger went up, signaling Arshdeep's second consecutive wicket.
Arshdeep's impeccable control and ability to make the ball move in the air added a new dimension to India's bowling attack. With back-to-back dismissals, he put South Africa in a challenging position early in the match. The celebrations were well-deserved as Arshdeep showcased not just his skill but also his understanding of the game.
At the time of writing, South Africa stands at 7/2 with Arshdeep Singh back to bowl his second over in the powerplay.
