IND vs WI 1st T20: Why Bhogle is backing Arshdeep to play T20 matches against West Indies?
- Arshdeep made a bright start to his international career as he picked up two wickets against England conceding just 5.14 runs per over.
- The left-arm pacer was effective at the death overs and held his composure well.
- With Jasprit Bumrah being rested for the T20 series against West Indies, Bhogle feels Arshdeep should be selected
- India have a lot of options to choose from the right-hand bowlers. The PBKS bowler is left-handed, and that adds an X-factor
- Bhogle feels the series against West Indies will provide India that cushion to test Arshdeep ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022.
