Punjab Kings’ fast bowler Arshdeep Singh showcased his remarkable fielding skills during a training session ahead of their IPL 2024 clash against Lucknow Super Giants. PBKS is gearing up to face LSG at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, and a video shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) captured Arshdeep’s outstanding catch.
In the footage, Arshdeep exhibited agility and athleticism as he sprinted towards the boundary to execute a breathtaking catch. Despite the momentum, he managed to grasp the ball, briefly tossed it in the air while crossing the boundary rope, and then secured the catch as he re-entered the playing area.
