Arshdeep Singh, the talented left-arm pacer, is making a mark in his debut season of the County Championship for Kent. Having recently joined the team on the advice of current Team India coach Rahul Dravid, Arshdeep showcased his bowling skills against Surrey and left a lasting impression on the field.
In his county debut against Surrey, Arshdeep immediately caught the attention with his impressive bowling display. He finished the first innings with figures of 2/43, including the crucial wicket of England international Ben Foakes. Arshdeep’s delivery to dismiss Foakes was a snorter, demonstrating his ability to make♍ the ball talk.
Two days later, in Surrey’s second innings, Arshdeep delivered a ripper to dismiss Jamie Smith. Smith was batting brilliantly and put the Kent side under immense pressure with his partnership with Dom Sibley. However, Arshdeep’s unplayable inswinger from round the wicket shattered Smith’s defense, uprooting the off-stump and providing a much-needed breakthrough for Kent.
