Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn, on Sunday, December 14, lauded Arshdeep Singh’s performance against his team within the third T20I in Dharamsala, saying that he is an ideal T20I bowler in organising the batter inside two to 3 deliveries after which managing a dismissal.
Arshdeep roared back into form within the third game of the five-match series on the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala, ending with sensible figures of two/13 from his 4 overs. He made a right away impact within the opening over, striking early to dismiss Reeza Hendricks.
During his opening spell of three overs, Arshdeep conceded only one 4, underlining the probing nature of his bowling that left the Proteas struggling. Steyn was impressed along with his line and length, noting that Arshdeep showed how the job needs to be done within the shortest format.
“In Test matches, you’ll be able to get 4-5 overs to work over a batter. 20/20, it’s possible you’ll get 3-5 balls. Arshdeep just showed exactly the way it’s done,” Steyn tweeted on Sunday evening.

After his opening spell, Arshdeep returned to bowl the nineteenth over of South Africa’s innings and struck again, dismissing Aiden Markram, who had been anchoring the visitors’ chase. The latter fell for 61.
It’s value noting that Arshdeep endured a forgettable outing within the second T20I at Mullanpur, conceding 54 runs, including seven wides in a single over. Those extras didn’t sit well with head coach Gautam Gambhir, who was seen losing his cool on camera.
Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma chipped in with a brisk cameo after the pacers delivered a fascinating display of swing bowling, guiding India to a cushty seven-wicket win within the third T20I.
