IPL 2021: Best XI that never won the title
Players who are yet to get their hands on the IPL trophy.
9. Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh was a part of the U-19 squad that won the ICC U-19 World Cup in 2018. Unlike most of the newbies, Singh can bowl with pace and control. Later on, he was picked in the Punjab U-23 team and he had made an impact with the ball. He also has a hat-trick to his name in the CK Nayudu Trophy.
Punjab’s inconsistency paved the way for Singh to make his IPL debut in 2019. Although he was expensive during his first year with the Kings, he now holds the bowling unit together. Apart from Shami, Singh is the one who bowls at the depth for Punjab Kings. In 2020, he picked up 9 wickets. During that year, he bowled at a decent economy rate of 8.77.
This year too, he has been covering for Riley Meredith and Jhye Richardson, the two players who were brought for a whopping INR 22 crores but failed to make a mark. Singh has been the star performer for Punjab so far. Well, it is no doubt that if he continues to perform like he has been doing, the way to the national side looks clear for him. Adding on, his presence adds a variety to the bowling attack.
