Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra has acknowledged the brilliant form of Arshdeep Singh with the ball. The skilled Southpaw has spelled his magic with the new ball in the Indian Premier League. Thus he deserves more chance ahead of Umran Malik in the third T20 against South Africa according to Aakash Chopra. In the five-match T20I series against South, Africa India has already left behind with a lead of (2-0) on the side of proteas.
Arshadeep was in a diamond form in this recently happened edition of IPL, where he was among the prime reasons behind the qualification of Punjab Kings in the playoff of the tournament. Thus, coach Rahul Dravid will also be eager to test the potential of this young Rapido in this game so he might get a chance to debuting.
In his YouTube video, Aakash Chopra said, “Can Umran Malik or Arshdeep be brought in? I am not going to advocate any change but if any change needs to be done, I will say Arshdeep, although no one has picked up more wickets than Umran Malik in the middle overs in the IPL. So you can get Umran if you want to address the middle-over woes. Arshdeep is far ahead of Umran in the pecking order. But often when pressure comes, the team tries to go with different-different combinations. So it could be a possibility that Umran plays, it can happen in today evening’s match”.
Later Chopra mentioned the chances of playing for Ravi Bishnoi for today’s game, “Can Bishnoi be played ahead of Chahal or Axar? I would say play him ahead of Axar because leg-spinners’ numbers are very good on this ground. A lot of runs are generally scored in Vizag but leg-spinners get a lot of wickets. Going with five bowlers can be slightly risky but what can you do, things are not working out”.
