The Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh had a great day with the ball during the fourth T20 International against the West Indies on Saturday. He ended up picking three wickets after giving away just 38 runs. In a recent chat with Shubman Gill, Singh spoke about the pressure he felt as his family members were present in the stands during the fourth T20I in Florida.
Team India’s young speedster took the wickets of Kyle Mayers and Brandon King in the powerplay and then dismissed Shimron Hetmyer in the final over. Talking about the game, Arshdeep said that he decoded the conditions quickly.
“I read the conditions quickly and realised that it is pretty flat. I bowled slower ones on my hard length,” Singh told Shubman Gill in a video posted by BCCI.
