T20 World Cup 2022: ‘I want to be good while bowling with the new and old ball,’ says Arshdeep Singh

The
Punjab
pacer
has
fitted
in
comfortably
with
the
team
in
the
ongoing
ICC
T20
World
Cup
2022
and
has
bowled
some
really
crucial
overs
for
Team
India.

Specialising
in
death
over
yorkers,
Arshdeep
adds
a
new
dimension
to
the
Indian
bowling
line-up
as
well
as
provides
them
with
a
genuine
left-arm
swing
option
at
the
beginning
of
the
innings.
Arshdeep
–
who
has
been
making
rapid
strides
in
cricket
ever
since
he
burst
onto
the
scene
with
his
impressive
performances
for
his
IPL
franchise
Punjab
Kings
–
is
always
a
picture
of
calmness
and
composure
even
in
pressure
situations,
which
has
led
him
to
get
a
lot
of
praise
for
his
performances
so
far
in
the
World
Cup.

While
interacting
with
Irfan
Pathan
exclusively
on
the
Star
Sports
show
‘Follow
the
Blues’,
the
cricketer
spoke
about
how
he
prepares
himself
for
big
tournaments
such
as
the
T20
World
Cup.
“My
focus
was
always
on
consistency.
You
cannot
afford
to
give
too
many
loose
balls
at
the
international
level.
I
want
to
be
good
while
bowling
with
the
new
ball
and
with
the
old
ball.
I
want
to
pick
wickets
or
control
runs
as
per
the
need,”
Arshdeep
said.

The
youngster
also
credited
India’s
bowling
coach
Paras
Mhambrey
for
helping
him
with
his
run-up
which
helped
him
become
consistent
in
his
line
on
the
Australian
pitches.

Arshdeep
further
added,
“Paras
Mhambrey
worked
with
me
on
my
run-up.
He
said,
if
I
come
straight,
I
will
get
more
consistency
with
my
line.
You
cannot
afford
bad
lines
on
Australia
wickets
so
I
am
putting
efforts
to
come
straight
and
I
am
able
to
see
the
results
but
I
hope
to
do
better.”

The
new
‘Turbanator’ in
the
Indian
side
also
spoke
about
how
he
is
acclimatising
to
the
conditions
in
Australia
and
how
he
is
trying
to
manage
his
length,
he
said,
“Entire
team
prepared
well
for
the
World
Cup.
We
reached
Perth
around
one
week
before
and
worked
on
our
lengths
because
everyone
had
different
lengths.
So
while
practicing
we
were
able
to
figure
out
the
lengths
with
bounce.
I
guess
with
good
preparation
we
get
good
results.”

The
Rohit
Sharma-led
Indian
side
will
now
take
on
Zimbabwe
in
their
last
Super
12
match
on
Sunday
(November
6)
at
the
iconic
Melbourne
Cricket
Stadium
(MCG),
where
they
defeated
Pakistan
in
their
tournament
opener.
It
will
be
the
last
league
match
of
the
tournament
and
India
will
look
to
win
it
to
book
their
semifinal
berth
in
the
tournament.
