Indian cricket has a rich legacy of producing world-class fast bowlers, and the latest addition to this illustrious list is Arshdeep Singh. With Sunil Gavaskar, one of cricket’s greatest minds, proclaiming Arshdeep as the next Jasprit Bumrah in Tests, the expectations are sky-high.
As the T20 World Cup unfolds in 2024, Arshdeep has solidified his position as a mainstay in India's limitedovers setup under Rohit Sharma's leadership. With an impressive track record in T20s and the Indian Premier League (IPL), the question on everyone’s mind is: Can Arshdeep Singh replicate this success in Test cricket and reach the heights achieved by Bumrah?
ARSHDEEP SINGH: A RISING STAR IN LIMITED-OVERS CRICKET
Arshdeep Singh’s journey in cricket began with Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in 2018, and he has been retained by the franchise ever since. His consistent performances in the IPL, with 76 wickets in 65 matches, have made him a vital cog in Punjab's bowling attack. For India, he has played 47 T20 internationals, taking 69 wickets, showcasing his ability to perform on the big stage.
His skills have not gone unnoticed in the cricketing world. Arshdeep’s left-arm pace bowling adds a different dimension to India's bowling attack, often drawing comparisons to Zaheer Khan, one of India's legendary fast bowlers. With a knack for swinging the ball both ways and delivering crucial breakthroughs, Arshdeep has emerged as a match-winner.
