Team India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey applauded Arshdeep Singh for showing great composure under pressure in the second T20I against West Indies. Arshdeep has made headlines in his short stint with the national team, having picked up five wickets so far from three games at an economy rate of 5.91. However, with West Indies needing 31 to win off the last four overs in St Kitts, Arshdeep conceded four and six runs respectively in the 17th and 19th overs as well. Mhambrey, who joined the Indian team way back in November 2021, lauded Arshdeep for doing well in the powerplay and death overs.

“I’ve been watching him for a long time now, since the IPL as well. Something that really stood out for me was his ability to absorb pressure. If you look at it, he bowls the hard overs, the overs in the powerplay and also at the death. In terms of the composure he has shown, I’m very happy, especially the way he turned up in the last game as well. This game, the 17th over he bowled, showed a lot about the ability that he has. I’m very happy to see him deliver for the team,” he said about Arshdeep Singh.

However, despite Arshdeep’s effort, India lost the game by five wickets. Obed McCoy claimed a six-wicket haul and India were bowled out for 138 in 19.4 overs as well. The West Indies team chased the target down in 19.2 overs after Brandon King’s fifty and Devon Thomas’s late cameo as well.
