Arshdeep Singh picked up a four-wicket haul against USA while conceding just nine runs.
Indian left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh etched his name in T20 World Cup history on Wednesday with a spell for the ages. During India’s Group A clash against USA at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, Singh registered the best bowling figures ever by an Indian bowler in the tournament.
His exceptional performance of 4-0-9-4 rattled the American batting line-up, restricting them to a paltry 111 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Arshdeep Singh’s fiery opening over set the tone for the day, dismissing USA opener Shayan Jahangir for a golden duck.
The left-arm pacer continued his dominance throughout the innings, picking up crucial wickets of Andries Gous, Nitish Kumar, and Harmeet Singh to complete a sensational four-wicket haul.
