'Important To Adapt': Arshdeep Singh On His Spell That Crushed South Africa Attack In T20 Opener

The Punjab-based bowler scalped three wickets in his four-over spell and restricted the proteas to 106/8 after 20 overs.

In the first T20 against South Africa, Arshdeep Singh starred with the ball and helped India beat South Africa at Thiruvananthpuram on Wednesday. The Punjab-based bowler scalped three wickets in his four-over spell and restricted the proteas to 106/8 after 20 overs.

After batting first, South Africa were 9/5 in 2.3 overs as Singh inflicted the most damage, taking three wickets in just four balls. After the game, Arshdeep spoke to bowling coach Paras Mahambrey on BCCI TV and said, “I didn’t expect the ball to swing that much but it’s important to adapt to situations".

“Now my goal in the next two matches is to pick wickets with the new ball and help the team in every way possible,” he added.

The left-arm pacer also talked about his preparation before the beginning of the series and stated, “Taking a break helped me to work on fitness and strength and I feel quite refreshed.”

When asked if he assessed the pitch before the game, Arshdeep said, “I don’t have the habit of studying the wicket and asked bowling coach and pitched the ball in the correct areas.”

The second T20 will take place in Guwahati on Sunday.
