(AP Photo/Gary Day) Arshdeep Singh once again delivered wickets for India at a crunch stage in the T20 World Cup as he dismissed Shakib-al-Hasan and Afif Hossain in his second over against Bangladesh, eventually leading India to a five-run win. The left armer added two more wickets to his overall tally of nine in four games at the World Cup.
However, there was a point in the match where the left armer admitted he took a wrong call. Defending 19 runs off the last five balls, Arshdeep would bowl a bouncer to Nurul Hasan, one that would be pulled for a maximum, bringing the equation down to 13 off four balls. Speaking to Yuzvendra Chahal in a recent BCCI video, the pacer admitted he should’ve opted for a yorker at that stage.
