Punjab Kings (PBKS) pacer, Arshdeep Singh has been arguably the best death-over specialist in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 and he has proved again on Tuesday against Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 48 of IPL 2022. It was the last over of GT innings, and Arshdeep bowled a full-toss at the stumps to clean up Sai Sudharsan, which was although a free hit.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) restricted Gujarat Titans (GT) to 143/8 in the game at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. It was a disciplined bowling performance by the PBKS bowlers, who went to the field after Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bat first. Arshdeep Singh, who has been considered as the best death-over specialist in IPL 2022, again came into the spotlight. Though Arshdeep had only one wicket, he bowled back-to-back dots to finish the innings.

Though, Sai Sudharsan, who was on strike, took a single off the last ball without touching the ball. The penultimate ball was a free-hit for Sudarshan, which was called after Mayank Agarwal went with three players inside the circle. But no damage was done as Arshdeep bowled a full toss and shattered the stumps. Sudarshan tried to angle across the bat but did not get to connect. As a result, it rattled the stumps, and ended up as a dot ball.

You have to give it to @PunjabKingsIPL for having shown faith in Arshdeep Singh and retaining him. Hope the batting lineup backs his and Rabada's good showing with the ball tonight, unlike the previous match. #PBKSvGT
