Significantly, Singh has excelled at bowling lately helping India to register a number of wins including an outstanding display against the US in the T20 World Cup group stage match.
Although successful in this area, Singh’s desire is to be more all-round so that he could play as a batsman.He is currently working with Vikram Rathour who is batting coach of his team.
Singh’s four wickets for just nine runs against USA made a difference and contributed to their super eight qualification.In this tournament, India has won three games in a row leading them into the Super Eight stage.
He was named Player of the Match because of his efforts.Singh wants to improve other aspects of his game apart from bowling and stressed how important it was for him to score runs whenever needed by the team.
“We are always learning, always trying to get better at all the skills, be it bowling, batting or fielding because you never know when those runs will be needed by the team,” Arshdeep explained via PTI during post-match media interaction.
Showing determination towards improving his batting skills, Singh chose No.9 over Jasprit Bumrah in a high-profile match versus Pakistan after discussing with Captain Rohit Sharma.
“Jassi Bhai (Bumrah) was supposed to go before me, but I just went in after asking Rohit (Sharma). They were surprised with it, but I told them ‘I will go up regardless of whatever you say’. So yeah I faced the quickest bowlers in last game and that’s why I’ll bat at nine. That’s what I am planning now. My batting is very confident. And you just try to keep getting better fielding or bowling,” he said.
Looking ahead,Singh spoke about adapting himself according to different conditions as they progress throughout the tournament which includes matches in different parts of the world like Lauderhill, Florida and then the Caribbean.
“If there is help in the wicket we try to get early wickets and restrict them (opponents) to a low total and if we are batting first we try to make as many as possible and give the bowlers good enough chance to restrict the opposition,” explained the pacer.
