Late Sunday night on a Balmi, Arshdeep Singh did what he does-it swings in favor of Punjab Kings, with three top-order wickets against Lucknow super veterans. And he does not want to see much further because living in the present has given him a rich dividend. “I am just enjoying the present. We are taking it day by day,” Arshdeep said that LSG stopped LSG on its track for 16 during a difficult chase of 237 in the IPL match.
Arshdeep has now taken 16 wickets out of 11 matches and this season is third in the list of major wickets behind Prasad Krishna (19 wickets) and Josh Hazelwood (18 wickets).
Aryarseep talked about a high -altitude site in the lap of the magnificent Dhuladhar mountain range, “For a change, there was a movement in the initial overs. I really enjoyed it. In the second innings, in the second innings, it cools down and the temperature falls down and falls a little,” Arshdeep talked about the high height site in the lap of the brilliant Dholdhar mountain range.
Arshdeep is happy that he may be responsible for all the three-in-form batsmen of LSG in Michelle Marsh, Eden Markram and Nicholas Goran inside the powerplay.
“I was just looking at him (Nehal Wadhera’s grip to dismiss Marsh) was running on the ball. I was praying ‘Just catch it’ because you know that Mich is a very dangerous player when he is going inside and going. So, we had to take that initial wicket. Nehal credits for that excellent catch.
“Their top three are scoring a lot of runs. We thought that if we can take their wickets as soon as possible, we will have an upper hand. The execution was very good.” Arshdeep’s franchise coach Ricky Ponting feels that the left -handed pace has progressively improved and has started receiving the powerplay scalps that he has done for the Indian national team in the last few sessions.
“I think Arshdeep has become better and better in every game. As the tournament has gone, he has become better and better. I think he is more confident. He is starting to get the powerplay wickets that we now know that he can do with the new ball of the brand,” Ponting said after the match.
The legendary Australian captain praised for the inauguration of Arshdeep, where he got the ball from all around.
“I think his first night was actually a tone set for our bowling innings. It was a brilliant first. The ball jumped and went all around, so, you know, he is a star, there is no doubt about it, and we are very lucky to put him in his team,” Ponting said.
