The star Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh showed extraordinary distinct in the opening game of the five-match T20I series against West Indies in the wake of being hit for several boundaries by opening player Kyle Mayers.
The young pacer took Mayers wicket and afterward he sent another one to the pavilion with figures of 2-24. Ahead of the second T20I, Bhuvneshwar Kumar tended to a virtual press conference, where he piled acclaim on Arshdeep.
“When Arshdeep bowls, he knows what he wants to do and he also knows what fields he wants for different batters. This is a very rare quality when someone is this young, this quality is rare. He has been consistent, he knows what he wants to do. The way he thinks about the game, is the best thing about his game,”
said Bhuvneshwar during a virtual press conference.
When asked about his bowling and performances this year, Bhuvneshwar said:
“Honestly, I have not made any change in my bowling, it was just a matter of bowling more. When you bowl more, you get confidence and you get back into rhythm. If you stay fit, it helps your bowling. I have not made any change in particular. Whenever I got an opportunity to bowl at home, I did that.”
In the opening game of the series, Suryakumar Yadav had opened the batting with Rohit Sharma.
Talking about the move, he said:
“I do not know. But I can say it was not a random move, there was thought behind it. I am sure they want to achieve something out of it.”
The senior pacer also said that the game has changed a lot since his debut, and thus the bowlers have added various varieties to their bowling munitions stockpile to fox the hitters.
“Since my debut, there have been a lot of changes. When I started, especially in ODIs, 300 was not a par score. But right now, 300 is a par score. In T20Is, 180-190, every team knows that it is chase-able. So this has been a big change, as the game keeps going ahead, bowlers and batters will keep evolving,”
said Bhuvneshwar.
“There have been changes. I learned a few variations, knuckleball, I learned to bowl that a couple of years ago. Every bowler has different variations, earlier we used to know that batter will take time but now they start to go after the bowlers right away,”
he added.
