Arshdeep Singh

A member of the U-19 squad that lifted the World Cup in 2018, Arshdeep Singh is a left-arm pacer from Punjab. In the 2 games that he played in the tournament, Arshdeep impressed one and all with his pace and control with the new ball. A few months later, he was included in the Punjab U-23 team and he made an impact with the ball against Rajasthan taking 8 wickets including a hat-trick in the CK Nayudu Trophy. That spurred the selectors to include him in the state team for the Vijay Hazare 2018/19 and Arshdeep had a decent debut claiming 2 wickets against Himachal Pradesh. Next, he was called up for Kings XI Punjab's trails where he proved his credentials as a death bowler which also tempted the franchise to rope him ahead of the IPL 2019 season. Punjab's constant chopping and changing meant that Arshdeep Singh earned a debut against Rajasthan Royals in his home ground at Mohali where the left-arm seamer accounted for two big guns of RR - Jos Buttler and Ajinkya Rahane. It turned out to be a eventful debut for the youngster. However, he was left out of the next few games only to return against SRH in an away fixture. Arshdeep picked up one wicket but his execution of yorkers towards the end of the innings drew praises from the pundits.
