Arshdeep Singh shines in Indias ODI series win over New Zealand, reflecting on his performance and recent engagement.
Mount Maunganui, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : India clinched the ODI series against New Zealand with a 22-run victory in the fifth match held at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, on November 15. Arshdeep Singh, who contributed 14 runs batting at number 11 and took three wickets, expressed no complaints about his position in the batting order. The left-arm fast bowler relishes every opportunity he gets to bat.
In a crucial moment, Arshdeep scored 14 runs off just four balls, including two sixes, as India pushed their total to 209 runs. This score proved vital, enabling India to secure the series 3-1 against New Zealand.
After being named ‘Player of the Match,’ Arshdeep shared, “I enjoy batting. Even if I have to bat at number 11, I find it exciting. I always try to create space for myself and hit hard. Some teammates say I fear bowling, but I disagree. I create my own space.”
He also highlighted the significance of his 26-run partnership with Mohammad Siraj for the last wicket. “Yes, after our batting ended, we discussed how crucial those runs were. Siraj mentioned that those runs would be important. We ensured we crossed the 200-run mark, which was a small milestone for us,” he said.
Arshdeep, who took three wickets for 30 runs in 10 overs, noted that despite the New Zealand batsmen not falling quickly, the bowlers maintained their composure. He stated, “We kept applying pressure and remained disciplined in our bowling. Even when immediate results weren’t visible, we didn’t lose our discipline. We consistently bowled in the right areas, which eventually paid off, and we won.”
Outside the field, Arshdeep got engaged to his girlfriend, Sameer Kaur, at Mount Maunganui beach. He expressed gratitude for her unwavering support throughout his journey. “God has been very kind to me. I have a wonderful partner who supports me and helps me maintain the right mindset. A lot of my performance on the field depends on how I’m doing off it. This has been an exciting time, and I feel great. What better backdrop for an engagement than this? I was quite nervous, but this view helped, and now I feel fantastic,” he said.
