IND vs ZIM LIVE: India’s new yorker king Arshdeep Singh credits practice stint in Perth, coach Paras Mhambrey for T20 World Cup heroics, says ‘Entire team prepared well for the World Cup’
“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,” said Arshdeep.
“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,” he added.

IND vs ZIM LIVE: Arshdeep Singh’s T20 World Cup
- Arshdeep Singh and Sam Curran are the joint highest wicket-taker in the Super 12 stages of the T20 World Cup.
- Both left-arm pacers have grabbed nine wickets each so far.
- Arshdeep played a crucial role in India’s triumph in the opening game against Pakistan after he scalped the big wickets of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. Later on, he returned to grab the wicket of Asif Ali as well.
- He backed his performances after grabbing two wickets each against both the Netherlands and South Africa.
- The Men in Blue looked in trouble against Bangladesh, but Arshdeep provided two crucial breakthroughs for India after removing Shakib al Hasan and Afif Hossain.
With no Jasprit Bumrah in the team, Arshdeep took the responsibility on himself for bowling in the powerplay and at the death overs. The young pacer has stood up to take on the responsibility and has been consistent with his performances in the competition so far.
The left-arm seamer also credited bowling coach Paras Mhambrey for helping him with improving his run-up ahead of the mega event. “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.”
