ICC T20 World Cup 2022: “Singh is King” – Twitter explodes as Arshdeep Singh removes Pakistan openers inside powerplay
That’s what the game of cricket does to you. One day you are the villain and the next day you are the biggest hero. A gap of a couple of months has been filled with ups and downs for the Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh. He was India’s biggest villain after the youngster dropped a catch in the high-octane clash between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup encounter. However, the left-arm pacer redeemed himself in the World Cup game by dismissing the backbone of the Pakistan batting unit in Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in his first two overs.
On Sunday, India and Pakistan are up against each other in another T20 World Cup game as both sides kickstart their respective campaigns at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and invited Men in Green to bat first in the crucial game.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar opened the bowling for India as Pakistan’s openers Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam walked out to bat. Bhuvi set the tone for India with the new ball as he gave nothing away in the first over to put pressure on Pakistan’s batting unit.
