The chaotic journey of Arshdeep Singh in T20Is will reach its culmination point at the Chinnaswamy Stadium during the third match against Afghanistan on Wednesday, and he is banking on the recent experience of bowling with new balls to ace the latest test of his skills. Arshdeep took four wickets from as many matches against the Aussies last year, but in each of those matches, he conceded 41, 46, 44, and 40 runs in four overs. But against South Africa and Afghanistan, the left-arm pacer had relatively better outings—four wickets across four matches at an acceptable overall economy of eight.
Those performances offered a microcosm of Arshdeep's efforts from January 5, 2023, to January 14, 2024, as his economy oscillated between 7.5 and above 10.
The Punjab man accepted that his journey was a mixed bag during the above-mentioned period.
Arshdeep said during the pre-match press meet on Tuesday that "the last 12 months have been a mixed bag (of experience). There were a few good performances, and I got to learn something new. There were a few ups and downs as well, making my performances neutral.
