Arshdeep Singh has now become the Sultan of Swing, can swing ball both ways: Nikhil Chopra
Arshdeep Singh picked one wicket as India defeated Zimbabwe by 71 runs in their final Super 12 match.
The young prodigy Arshdeep Singh has been phenomenal for team India in the ongoing T20 World Cup. The left-arm seamer may have conceded runs in a few matches but was top-notch for the majority of the time. In the Super 12, the 23-year-old has clinched ten wickets so far and gave India the right push in the absence of experienced Jasprit Bumrah.
Former India international Nikhil Chopra is thus very impressed with the talented youngster and didn’t shy to call him the Sultan of swing at the moment. Just before India’s match against Zimbabwe at Adelaide, the 48-year-old elucidated his strengths and called him the hero of the tournament.
“See, he now became the Sultan of Swing. He can swing the ball both ways. He can bowl inswingers to right-handers - which eventually is his normal action but bowling outswingers to right-handed batters is a sign of a top-quality bowler. That is the reason why he’s so dangerous with the new ball and picks so many wickets. Arshdeep for me is the hero of this world cup. It is a huge moment for a young player and he took full advantage of the opportunity he got. Credit goes to him and you can actually call him the new Sultan of swing,” said the former cricketer on BatBricks7 presents Run Ki Runneeti show on CricTracker.
