Young Arshdeep Singh is getting better continuously, and the left-arm seamer has attributed this to his ability to keep things simple and stay level-headed in pressure situations, which has helped him evolve into a death-overs specialist.
Having made his international debut in 2022, Arshdeep has already taken 89 wickets in just 58 T20I matches at a phenomenal average of just over 18 thanks to his penchant for bowling accurate yorkers at great speeds.
“My plans depend on the conditions, the wickets, what kind of situations we are faced with, whether we need wickets or we contain the flow of runs… Depends on them,” Arshdeep said on Tuesday when asked about his death-overs bowling.
It’s not that he has tasted success everyday while bowling in the death.
“Death bowling some days it comes off well, some days it will not. We have to be level-headed, not think too much about death bowling…
“Because when you have two overs in the beginning, and two overs in the end, you have a lot at stake, you can make a game, and the game can also slip from your grasp. I just try to keep things simple, not complicate them, and look to fulfil the team’s needs,” the fast bowler said.

While he has left no doubt about his ability with the ball, Arshdeep, 25, said he is also trying to improve in every aspect of the game, especially batting.
“As long as the wicket is flat and bowlers are medium pace, I love it, love a half volley from a spinner, but yes, I am trying my best to contribute with the bat as well whenever I get a chance, and even in the nets I challenge myself and see how I can improve in all three aspects of the game.
“So it’s always been the idea, as a team how we can do in all three aspects of the game. It’s the same for me personally as well – how I can improve.”
