After India’s five-wicket loss to Pakistan in the Super Four clash at the ongoing Asia Cup, star Indian batter Virat Kohli had some strong words of support for young pacer Arshdeep Singh, who had dropped a crucial catch in the 18th over of the match. Kohli said that he was proud of Arshdeep Singh and that he had the potential to be a great player in the future.
An outstanding fifty by Mohammed Rizwan and a cameo by Mohammad Nawaz helped force Pakistan to a five-wicket triumph in a last-over thriller against Pakistan on Sunday at the current Asia Cup 2022. The match was part of the Super Four round.
Arshdeep Singh should be super proud of the bowling efforts, after that drop, anyone could have easily given but he dragged the game in the final over.

What did Virat Kohli say about Arshdeep Singh?
“Even in the first game, I played in the Champions Trophy, which was against Pakistan, I played a poor shot and got out. Anyone may make blunders under pressure. It is normal to have negative feelings. The management and captain deserve credit for creating such a positive atmosphere inside the squad at the moment. He must “face his mistake, rectify it, and look forward to being in that pressurized scenario once again,” said Kohli in the post-match press conference.
On Tuesday, India will compete against Sri Lanka in their next super four match. As for the game itself, Pakistan prevailed over India by five wickets in a nail-biting last-ball drama in the Super Four round of the Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday thanks to a magnificent fifty by Mohammed Rizwan and a cameo by Mohammad Nawaz.
Arshdeep Singh and Ravi Bishnoi were the two stars in tonight's game – Bishnoi playing his first Asia Cup game, Arshdeep even after that drop, kept the game alive in the final over and didn't lose his confidence.

The spectators were treated to a thrilling day of cricket action, which more than justified the price they paid. Rizwan’s outstanding 71 off 51 balls was the deciding factor in who came out on top between the two teams. The fans will hope that there can be another Indo-Pak match next Sunday in the finals of the Asia Cup 2022.
