The day of Saturday 25 January was very special for Arshdeep Singh. Not only special, but there was a lot of ups and downs. The day started with a historical achievement for him, but the day ended with a mistake that could have been overwhelming on Team India. This was such a mistake, due to which he had to face criticism earlier and even had to face the angry eyes of captain Rohit Sharma. The star bowler of Team India made this mistake in the second T20 match against England.

Selected Best T20 Player

Let's start from the beginning. On Saturday, Arshdeep Singh was selected by ICC as the Best T20 Player of 2024 (ICC T20 Player of the Year). Arshadeep became the only Indian player to win this award. Before that, the current captain of Team India, Suryakumar Yadav, won this award for two consecutive years. Arshdeep got this achievement at a time when he also became the highest wicket -taking bowler for India in T20 International 3 days ago.

This mistake repeated in the match

After these two great achievements, when Arshadeep landed in the second T20 match in Chennai on Saturday evening, he could not show anything special. In bowling, he gave the team a great start by taking wickets in the first over, but after that he was also beaten fiercely. However, the mistake of Arshdeep Singh is being talked about here, it was not bowling but in batting. It happened that India had lost 7 wickets till 126 runs, chasing the target of 166 runs but Tilak Verma was frozen at the crease. They just needed together.

Arshadeep, who came to the crease in the 15th over, supported Tilak here and shared a 20 -run partnership. The target was still 20 runs away and in such a situation, on the fifth ball of the 17th over, Tilak gave a strike to Arshdeep, so that he himself came on strike in the next over. Now Arshdeep had to play this ball somehow but thought of doing something different from this left -handed batsman and he gave a slog sweep. Result- Arshdeep Out and Team India's eighth wicket fell.

Rohit showed eyes

He got the support of Ravi Bishnoi to Tilak and both of them won, otherwise Arshdeep would once again be targeted by everyone. But this is not the first time that Arshdeep has made such a mistake. Earlier in August last year, something similar happened in the first ODI on Sri Lanka tour. India needed 1 run to win and Arshdeep was at the crease as the last batsman. He had 2 balls but on the fifth ball, Arshdeep tried to put a slog sweep and was tied LBW and the match was tied.
