“The best thing about Arshdeep Singh is that he is a fearless bowler. He has the heart of a lion. While many players get caught up in pressure situations, he flourishes more often than not in tense moments- This bowler has so much confidence and the belief that he can do well in tense moments.”

“That day we saw him suggest to a world class bowler like Kagiso Rabada which line to bowl. It shows how much he is involved in the game and doesn’t shy away from sharing his views with the senior players. He Throws yorkers of his own accord in the death overs. I believe a left-arm fast bowler of this ability should definitely get a chance to play for India at the earliest.”
