Arshdeep Singh’s phenomenal form in Vijay Hazare Trophy continued as he wreaked havoc on Maharashtra in Vijay Hazare Trophy quarterfinal. The Punjab pacer, who is a frontrunner to grab a spot in India’s XI in Champions Trophy 2025, has 20 wickets from seven List A matches in the ongoing edition of the tournament. The southpaw is considered to be one of India’s primary white-ball format bowler and has performed consistently in domestic cricket over the last few months.
Arshdeep Singh makes case for inclusion in Champions Trophy
Arshdeep sizzled with a three-wicket haul in the quarterfinal clash against Maharashtra on Saturday. His first victim was MAH skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad as he cleaned up the batter to get rid of him just for 5 runs, giving Punjab an early breakthrough. In his very next over, he dismissed Siddhesh Veer, leaving the opposition reeling. His final victim was centurion Arshin Kulkarni as Arshdeep brought the curtains down on his 107-run knock. The southpaw finished with figures of 3/56 and an economy rate of 6.20.

Arshdeep is expected to play a crucial role for India in Champions Trophy 2025 amid uncertainty over the availability of Bumrah and Shami. He is expected to play second fiddle to Mohammed Siraj, who will spearhead the pace department should the two veterans not be present. The southpaw will most likely be a part of IND vs ENG T20I and ODI series which precedes the marquee tournament.
Although Arshdeep has been majorly a T20I bowler for India, he has ventured into ODIs in the past and has 12 wickets from 8 matches. His performances in Vijay Hazare Trophy strengthen his chances of cementing a spot in the squad for CT 2025, providing India with a valuable option of using a left-arm pacer against other teams.
