The Indian cricket team is currently gearing up for the T20I series against Afghanistan. It is the last T20I series for the Rohit Sharma-led side before the 2024 T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. The mega event will be held in the month of June. Keeping that in mind, the series against Afghanistan and IPL 2024 hold extra significance for the side, which is eyeing its first ICC title since 2013. Seniors Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been named in the squad. It will be their first T20I assignment since the 2022 T20 World Cup.
Left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is also part of the squad. He has been an integral part of India's T20I plan for the last year. He was part of India's T20I team against South Africa. Recently, he played a Ranji Trophy match for Punjab against Karnataka.
An Instagram story of the pacer, which has a video with Punjab teammate Mandeep Singh, has gone viral. The caption of the post read, "Orry da praaa: Chorrryyy." Orry is a popular social media influencer. Arshdeep even tagged Orry in his post.
