Arshdeep Singh In 4th T20I: Irfan Pathan Says His Inclusion Is Essential
Talking about Arshdeep Singh, Irfan stated how incredible the left-arm bowler was during the first six overs of matches. He also talked about how effective Arshdeep is, and he keeps on proving why he should be included in the team.
Irfan Pathan said,
“Arshdeep was played, and as soon as he was included, he showed why. He has taken 45 wickets in the powerplay so far. Since his debut, no one has taken more wickets with the new ball in the powerplay than Arshdeep. That’s why we’ve been saying again and again that Arshdeep’s inclusion is essential; he is a must. And once again, he showed why.”

Now the hope is that he doesn’t get dropped again, that he continues to play in the regular XI. Especially after this performance, there should be absolutely no reason to bench him.”
