Arshdeep Singh (BCCI)

Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh was greeted with a barrage of boundaries by South African openers in the first over of his spell at St George’s Park. The speedster leaked 24 runs in his opening over, including 20 off the bat, as he was belted with twin sixes from Matthew Breetzke and Reeza Hendricks.

Hendricks, in particular, pulverized the 24-year-old fast bowler with a 93-meter huge hit, where the ball went soaring out of the ground.

Tasked with sharing the new-ball alongside Mohammed Siraj, young Arshdeep Singh conceded a boundary and a six upfront in his over to South African opening batsman Matthew Breetzke. His senior partner, Reeza Hendricks, on the other hand, launched Arshdeep out of the ground with a colossal hit to conclude an expensive over.
