India’s left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh provided a sensational start with the ball in the fourth T20I against South Africa, held at The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. The game, a high-stakes series decider, saw the Indian team riding high on the momentum of a monumental batting performance earlier in the day.
After setting a mammoth total of 283 runs, the Indian bowlers had the task of defending it against South Africa’s formidable batting lineup. Arshdeep Singh, entrusted with the new ball, delivered a dream start for his team. Swinging the ball expertly from the very first delivery, Arshdeep unsettled South African opener Reeza Hendricks, leaving him visibly out of sorts.

The left-arm pacer displayed incredible control and movement, swinging the ball both ways to keep the batter guessing. On just the second ball of the over, Arshdeep Singh set up Reeza Hendricks brilliantly. He bowled a teasing delivery that swung away from the batter, planting seeds of doubt. Following this, he unleashed a stunning inswinger that left Hendricks with no answer.
The decisive delivery, pitched on a good length, nipped back sharply into Hendricks, who attempted a backfoot defense. However, the pace and movement were too much to handle. The ball sneaked past his bat, crashing into the top of the off-stump.
