Bowling at a decent pace on debut against England at Southampton.

Swinging the ball both ways.

First over in international cricket - a very good maiden.

Impressive start.

Typical Indian bowler of 80s,90’s .. will be smacked unless improves his speed got picked over Mohsin, no place for Bhuvi and Him together.
 
Pros :-

1.Swings the ball both ways
2.Death over specialist

Cons :-

1.Pace is not 140 kph like Shaheen
2. May not have master the new ball skills that he has got as he mostly bowled in death overs in IPL.

Moshin clocks at 140+ but not sure if he can swing the ball into the right handers. He gets good bounce though due to his height.

Arshdeep is 6 3 taller than most Indian bowlers yet has no wicket taking ability for Aus pitches..(for now)..but if Moshin isn’t picked now I highly doubt he would be picked then.

Mohsin is pretty tall too, I think 6'5'' but not sure completely. Pace is pretty good too.

For Arshdeep to pick wickets, I think he needs to master those new ball skills. In death overs, he bowls yorkers in the block hole so won't get wickets there. Not very high pace either. The only positive is he gets to swing into the right handers which is a good skill to have if he masters it consistently like Boult and Shaheen.
 
Dont be misled by today's performance. The ball swung so he looked good.

Only one of Arshdeep Harshal or BK can play in the team.

Arshdeep is a left armer. He wont be competing with BK and Harshal. I suspect he will be selected in the 15 unless there is a left arm quick better than him .

I agree that he is definitely not as good as he looked today cos the ball won't swing like this every match.
 
2/18 in 3.3 overs

Impressive debut

So if it's not swinging he has no other tricks up his sleeve?

Seems to bowl a good slower one.

He is a death over specialist. He will bowl 2-3 overs in death only.

The way I see it is Bumrah will bowl in death overs and if you want another player to bowl in tandem in death overs then that is either Harshal or Arshdeep. Harshal has no skills with the new balls while Arshdeep has the skill to swing the new ball both ways and is a left armer too. Harshal however can be a capable hitter in final overs while Arshdeep is a tailender.

Umran Malik on other hand has pace and I think he is also middle overs and death over options. However, he has no skills to swing the new ball. That's all the pros and cons of the three.
.
Bhuvi with new bowl and Bumrah in death overs seems like a lock at the moment. The need is for third pacer which will be decided between Arshdeep or Harshal or Umran.

Arshdeep fits the bill as of now. An all phase bowler unlike Harshal and Umran. Avesh or Siraj can be other options

Harshal's batting is a myth. Just a glorified tailender.

you still need ability to swing the ball both ways while having control. Made Roy look clueless.

Natarajan is another left armer we have but is injured mostly

Mohsin,Mukesh have only played 1 season of IPL so need to see more

I'd like to see him again when there is little help for the bowlers. Yesterday was a bit of an anomaly. Those first 2 overs had the most swing for the first 2 overs of any T20I innings in the history of T20I's!

I would have liked if Mohsin was playing as well. As it stands, I think if we are serious about a left arm pace option in Australia, he might be the only one.
 
Pace wise he was mid 130s although it looked like he could have bowled quicker if needed.

Nice easy action too.
 
Swing, bounce, slower one and a very good yorker.
He has everything except pace.
I still feel Mohsin Khan is more talented than Arshdeep. Both are better than Harshal.

Mohsin has played only one IPL,that too not fully. He might have succeeded due to novelty factor.We need to see more.Same for Mukesh. We cant rush them in so soon.

I like Khaleel but after him Arshdeep is next given Nattu is injured.

Has a good yorker too. But he is a 135k bowler. He needs a bit more pace to be able to hit the hard lengths.
 
A good start for the lad. Let's not get carried away though as is common with Indian fans with their pace bowlers.

I agree. Arshdeep looks a more reliable option than Harshal and Umran both. I find Avesh pretty overrated too while Siraj on normal and bad days leaks a lot of runs.

Bhuvi and Arshdeep to start. Bhuvi will have a long spell with new ball and then Pandya and Bumrah to chip with an over each. Arshdeep and Bumrah to bowl in death overs as well.

The only confusing part is that why Arshdeep barely bowled with the new bowl in IPL. If the skills are there, you give more chances so he masters it rather than making him a death over option.

that's team dynamics. They didnt have much death options except Rabada whereas had new ball options like Sandeep,Vaibhav etc.

For India Arshdeep can start with new ball with Bhuvi and bowl in end with Bumrah

Seems like a thinking bowler who can stay calm under pressure.

Yes, Harshal seems to more of a mystery medium pace bowler which once figured out will go for plenty on certain conditions. He is a one trick pony with bowl.

Arshdeep seems more of a guy relying on his skills and trying to master it to become an all phase bowler.

Harshal's batting at 8 is good to have so I think he too will be in the mix.
 
Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh are two young pace prospects who have the potential to go a long distance. Umran impressed in the Indian Premier League with his pace and then made his international debut in the T20I series against Ireland. He took one wicket in that series. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, on the other hand, has played only one T20I for India. It happened during the T20I series against England. However, he has more experience than Umran of playing First-class cricket.

Former Indian cricket team player Aakash Chopra feels Umran is still not ready for international cricket.

"Umran Malik has something that others don't have – extreme pace. You can't teach that to anyone. You can teach everything else – line and length, yorker, bouncer, slower ones, kuckle ball etc. But you can't teach someone how to bowl with speed. You are either born a pacer or you are born a medium-pacer," Chopra said in a video in his YouTube channel.

"No doubt, he has the pace. But what I feel is that Umran Malik is not ready for international cricket as of now. It is very simple, he needs time. He hasn't played a lot of cricket and so he is still raw."

Regarding Arshdeep Singh, Chopra said: "Arshdeep is more mature. He has been playing regularly. He is a left-armer, nails the yorkers. He has got brains also. When you don't have that much speed, you use your brains more. Experience counts for everything. Arshdeep, in my opinon. is more complete bowler as compared to Umran Malik right now. But what Umran has nobdy else has. He is special."

Port Of Spain: India is taking on the West Indies in the final ODI of the three-match series. Having won the first two matches, India will be keen on winning the final game and clean sweeping West Indies. India made one change to the team and brought in Prasidh Krishna in place of Avesh Khan. Krishna was dropped from the second game after an ordinary outing in the first match. However, Avesh Khan was also expensive in the second ODI and India brought back Prasidh Krishna for the final game.

Meanwhile, fans were not amused by the change and started trending ‘Justice for Arshdeep’. Arshdeep Singh has been with the Indian team for a while, but he is not getting enough chances to play for the team. He was part of the ODIs in England but didn’t get an opportunity to play. He made his debut for India in the first T20I against England and bowled exceptionally well. However, he was not part of the final two T20Is and thus had to warm the bench in the remaining two games. Arshdeep rose to prominence after a staggering season of IPL 2022 and fans believe that Indian management is being harsh on Arshdeep by not giving him an opportunity to play.

"...Best Thing About His Game": Bhuvneshwar Kumar On Young Indian Pacer
Senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar says Arshdeep Singh knows what to bowl at different stages and this is the best part about his game.

Young India pacer Arshdeep Singh showed great resolve in the first T20I of the five-match series against West Indies after being hit for a couple of boundaries by opening batter Kyle Mayers. The left-arm seamer dismissed Mayers and then he took another wicket in the game to return with figures of 2-24. Ahead of the second T20I, senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar addressed a virtual press conference, where he heaped praise on Arshdeep.

"When Arshdeep bowls, he knows what he wants to do and he also knows what fields he wants for different batters. This is a very rare quality, when someone is this young, this quality is rare. He has been consistent, he knows what he wants to do. The way he thinks about the game, it is the best thing about his game," said Bhuvneshwar during a virtual press conference.

When asked about his bowling and performances this year, Bhuvneshwar said: "Honestly, I have not made any change in my bowling, it was just a matter of bowling more. When you bowl more, you get confidence and you get back into rhythm. If you stay fit, it helps your bowling. I have not made any change in particular. Whenever I got an opportunity to bowl at home, I did that."

In the first T20I, Suryakumar Yadav had opened the batting alongside Rohit Sharma. Talking about the move, he said: "I really do not know. But I can say it was not a random move, there was thought behind it. I am sure they want to achieve something out of it."

The seamer also said that the game has changed a lot since his debut, and hence the bowlers have added different variations to their bowling arsenal to fox the batters.

Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com
"Since my debut, there have been a lot of changes. When I started, especially in ODIs, 300 was not a par score. But right now, 300 is a par score. In T20Is, 180-190, every team knows that it is chaseable. So this has been a big change, as the game keeps going ahead, bowlers and batters will keep evolving," said Bhuvneshwar.

"There have been changes. I learnt a few variations, knuckle ball, I learnt to bowl that a couple of years ago. Every bowler has different variations, earlier we used to know that batter will take time but now they start to go after the bowlers right away," he added.

Excellent work for him in the 3/12 in 3.1 overs in the West Indies vs India, 4th T20I - including the big wicket of Jason Holder

he has a very calm head. bhuvi successor. his ability to bowl at any stage coupled with decent height and bounce makes him a very steady bowler. mohsin and mukesh will compete with him but for now, he has locked a place for wc. his death over skill is as best as any in the trade right now. bumrah and him with bhuvi gives you one of the best t20 all round attacks right now.
pace might not be a big issue imo as he is decent pace .
 
Bowled really well.

Varied his pace nicely and bowled with thought.

Yes there were a couple of loose deliveries but that will be due to inexpereince.

A really good prosepct.
 
I maintain my views on him, he is quality. There is another guy, Mohsin Khan who is also pretty good but perhaps will need to see more of him.

I really rate Mohsin as well. He is tall, has pace, the left arm angle and above all, a thinking bowler.
 
India-Pakistan Super 4 match in the ongoing Asia Cup on Sunday lived up to its hype as both sides played out a thriller and in the end, it was Babar Azam's side that prevailed by five wickets and now India must win their matches against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan if they want to make it to the final. However, the biggest talking point of the game came in the 18th over of the innings as young seamer Arshdeep Singh dropped a relatively easy chance off the bowling of Ravi Bishnoi, and as a result, Asif Ali got a life.

<div style="width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/e/30sw84" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%" allowfullscreen style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;"></iframe></div>

Arshdeep then came on to bowl the final over, but he was not able to defend seven runs, and in the end, Pakistan walked away with a victory. Now, former India spinner has come to the rescue of Arshdeep, saying no one drops catches purposely and the young seamer should not be criticised.

"Stop criticising young [MENTION=7249]arsh[/MENTION]deepsinghh. No one drop the catch purposely..we are proud of our ���� boys .. Pakistan played better.. shame on such people who r putting our own guys down by saying cheap things on this platform bout arsh and team.. Arsh is GOLD," Harbhajan tweeted.

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan also took to Twitter to show his support for Arshdeep.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, India batter Virat Kohli also showed his support for Arshdeep, saying: "Anyone can commit the mistake, the situation was tight. It was a high-pressure game and mistakes can happen. I still remember I was playing my first Champions Trophy and the match was against Pakistan, I had played a very bad shot against Shahid Afridi. I was watching the ceiling till 5 am, I was not able to sleep and I thought my career is over but these things are natural. Seniors players get around you, there is a good team environment right now, I give the credit to the captain and coach. The players learn from their mistakes. So one must accept his mistake, address it and look forward to being in that pressure situation once again."

Talking about the match between India and Pakistan, the former was sent into bat and the side posted 181/7 in 20 overs. Virat Kohli top-scored with a knock of 60 off 44 balls.

Chasing 182, wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan top-scored for Pakistan as he played a knock of 71 of 51 balls. However, the impact innings came from Mohammad Nawaz who went out to bat at No.4 and the left-hander went on to score 42 runs off 20 balls.

For India, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Hardik Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh scalped one wicket each.

"He's a basic bowler. In T20s, you either need a bowler like Bhuvneshwar Kumar who can swing the ball, or you should have pace. Or, you should be tall enough and have good yorkers. You need to have a trademark"

"Bowlers like Arshdeep are 'just bowlers'. They don't have a trademark and the opposition doesn't even think about such bowlers"

Today it was green top pitch. Like a English pitch in the first session on a test match

Wont read too much into this performance !

He has good yorker but onm flat Australian pitches will struggle to get wickets

In Australia, his yorkers will be lethal. Upfront with new bowl, he may struggle.
 
My favourite Indian bowler at the moment. No fuss or swag about him. He is a great addition to the Indian team.
 
He was excellent with the new ball yesterday. Swing it both ways and he could have more the number of times he beat the edge.
He could be dangerous in the first Match.

Wow! These former cricketers really are clueless. Or they like to yap a lot without paying much attention. Arshdeep has decent pace (140+), great control, and genuine skills with the ball including swing in both directions and nailing yorkers under pressure. The lad is a complete package. He'll be an all format mainstay for India, for sure.
 
Babar's wicket - what more does he have to do?
 
A decent support bowler at best. Could be a good addition with Bumrah and Shami, but don't see him as a matchwinner on his own.

Disagree. He is a proper swing bowler. The one India should groom for all formats.

He is 22, far younger than Chahar and better than BK.
 
has genuine outswinger against right handers not just slanting across them .rare talent . got baber with inswinger. bowler who can swing the ball both ways.
 
Was an exclusive death bowler in IPL. So it was still unknow how he would deliver with new ball. This is the second time he made the ball talk with new ball.

He already won a match for India against SA. Reduced South Africa to 8/4. Won the man of the match.
 
Arshdeep on fire!

Taken 2 wickets in his first over.
 
Just needs to hit the gym and work on his upper body strength. If he can increase his pace to 140-145 kph from the current 130 kph , he will turn into world class bowler in test cricket
 
Need to get that speed to Bumrah(140-145), Shami (137-142)and Siraj (137-142) level.

And loses his swing in the process, the balls swings more at 130-136k range then in 140-145k.
 
Even Dale Steyn used to bowl his outswingers at at mid to late 130s and then crank up the pace when the balls stops swinging.
 
Alot of ifs and buts here. But credit where it's due. He is bowling well with the new ball in favourable conditions. Reminds me a bit of Irfan Pathan but Arshdeep is quicker than him. The challenge, as with many indian promising indian bowlers of past, is to keep developing and serve the country for 10+ years.
 
IPL hero Arshdeep Singh leading the Indian bowling attack like a champion in World T20I 2022

Undoubtedly, the standout bowler going around from India and also in this tournament with 9 wickets to his name and has delivered performances when it mattered whether it is picking wickets upfront or bowling in death overs in pressure situation.

Bhuvaneshwar and Shami( except one game) have been sidekicks infront of him while Hardik although picks wickets, but is a bit of one dimensional with predictable short bowling stuffs mostly. Spinners have been poor.

Best young bowler in Asia. India’s next Zaheer Khan.

I was not impressed with his body language in the Asia Cup, he looked very nervous and timid. However, the way he recovered after the drop catch and all the criticism that he received shows his resolve.

Fantastic talent with a very bright future. Eagerly waiting for his Test debut.
 
his opening spell is good to watch. But he will turn out to be another Bhuvi if he doesnt add pace.

Bhuvi was just like him when he started in 2012. Moving the ball early but bhuvi never really got the pace. But he has done well in test, lets see if Arshdeep can do the same in test cricket
 
He is using his height very well. I wish he would up his pace a bit. Many times I feel like he is bowling in slow motion.
 
Careful with such threads where you credit ipl.

Some x box knowledge cricket experts who love blaming ipl for even ukraine war might get offended
 
He needs a yard more of pace or he ll be a gonner after one injury.
Gets the job done tho.
 
Learnt and refined the art of holding his nerve by playing the IPL.

Excellent talent. It’s only upwards from here hopefully.
 
Can swing the ball both ways upfront. Not many bowlers in world cricket can do that. Can bowl at the death. To top it all, is a leftie that India has been looking for half a decade. Great find for India. Is a great prospect for India in all forms. Amazing find!!

Safe catcher too since that Asia cup drop. In fact took some very complicated skiers before that game in internationals and IPL. That looks like a basic skill but these days especially in the Indian fielding unit, it adds some value.
 
A decent swing bowler without pace and he will fade away rather sooner than later.
Although he can swing the ball at 130ks but he doesn't have pace which is the most important attribute of a fast bowler.

Yes, he is the only Indian left arm bowler who can swing the ball both ways.

Mohsin is a 6-7 kph faster than him but I don't think he swings it both ways, uses angles and extracts bounce. We will get to know more of him next season .
 
He is around 135-140 kph. Could help if he can add another 5kph and with his height would be a very good bowler.

Rossow's dismissal was amazing. It was an inswinger to a leftie batsman from a leftie bowler. That is a very rare skill
