‘He might actually be the best right now’- Aakash Chopra on what makes Arshdeep Singh special

In the first T20I match against England at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Arshdeep Singh was one of the most impressive players with the ball. Despite only making his T20I debut in July 2022, he took two wickets in his four overs, making him India’s top wicket-taker in the tournament.

Arshdeep’s ability to swing the ball both ways was cited as his greatest strength by the former cricket player who is now a commentator. He went over the few wickets that Arshdeep had taken again to strengthen his position.

“Arshdeep Singh has amassed 97 wickets.

He is almost at 100 wickets. But what’s unique about Arshdeep Singh? Given how quickly he has advanced, that is a very huge, very large question. He is the most expensive player on the list of India’s top wicket-takers. In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “He swings the ball to take wickets, but he leaks a few runs.”

He constructed a trap in which he would move the ball, then repeatedly move it away to trap the batter (Phil Salt), which I thought was great. After that, he bowled Ben Duckett completely full,” said According to Chopra, Arshdeep was a difficult client to work with because of his skillful use of bouncers and the swing he produced, he continued.

“If you lack swing, you wouldn’t dare bowl full, yet he does. He can swing the ball either way. For right-handers, the ball can either come in or go out. Then, because of his height and high-arm motion, he also has bounce. He exhibits the changes. You can’t get him in a line. That’s how he lays the field as well. In order to demonstrate that he can bowl an inswinger but an outswinger, he keeps the third man in. Few individuals are using the bouncer as effectively as he is,” the former Indian opener continued.

Chopra also thought that Arshdeep was the greatest bowler in the 20-over format because of the variety of variations in his repertoire.

Despite his lack of speed, he makes good use of the bouncer. Next, the slower one and the slower bouncer. Arshdeep appears to be the whole package, in my opinion. Jasprit Bumrah is unique. Let’s avoid him. Left-arm fast bowlers were on my mind. Although Mitchell Starc and Shaheen Shah Afridi are present, Chopra noted that Arshdeep Singh may be the finest player in T20 cricket at the moment.

Although the left-arm seamer’s economy is a bit greater than that of some T20I speed bowlers, Arshdeep’s ability to take wickets has more than made up for it. What he accomplishes for India in the near future is still up in the air.
