“I read the conditions quickly and realised that it is pretty flat. I bowled slower ones on my hard length,” he told Shubman Gill in a video posted by BCCI.tv.

Arshdeep’s father Darshan Singh and elder brother Akashdeep Singh was in stands in the fourth T20I against West Indies.

“It was pre-planned,” said Arshdeep.

“Father is in Canada to play some tournament. So he tagged along with my brother and came to USA to watch me play.

“There was a bit of extra support. There was pressure also to perform well in front of them,” he added.

India continued its fightback against West Indies by tying their five-match Twenty20 cricket series at 2-2 after a nine-wicket win in Florida on Saturday.

India comfortably reached 179-1 in 17 overs of the fourth T20 international after West Indies chose to bat first and scored a respectable 178-8.

Yashasvi Jaiswal hit 84 not out in 51 balls and fellow opener Shubman Gill added 77 in 47 deliveries to make the series-leveling win almost inevitable for India after an opening stand of 165.
