CALCUTTA: Veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin heaped praises on India star seamer Arshdeep Singh for his brilliant 19th over under pressure against the West Indies in an must win match in the Super 8 fixture of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 on Sunday.
Arshdeep went wicketless in the match and gave away 43 in four overs, but in the second last over of the innings, with big hitters Rovman Powell and Jason Holder on the crease, Singh bowled a six-run over.
Ashwin believed his 19th over was underrated, and we always make decisions seeing the wickets column, as people are used to seeing the Purple Cap in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
A blockbuster 97 unbeaten by Sanju Samson single-handedly led Team India to a five-wicket win over West Indies at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens in their must-win T20 World Cup Super Eight clash against West Indies, helping his team reach the semifinals on Sunday.
Singh has had a decent outing in the T20 World Cup so far, he has grabbed 8 wickets in 6 matches at an average of 21.37 and an economy rate of 7.77. (ANI)
