Arshdeep Singh is a tough character on the cricket field. He has shown that a number of times by bowling the most difficult overs for Punjab Kings. Even in the Asia Cup Super 4 match against Pakistan, when most other cricketers would want to dig a hole and dive in it after dropping a crucial catch in the 18th over, Arshdeep put his chin up and nearly defended six runs off the last over. If there were any doubts about how the left-arm pacer would react to the social media trolls blaming him for the defeat against Pakistan, Arshdeep's parents erased them completely. Arshdeep, who hasn't posted anything on his social media handles since Sunday's defeat to Pakistan, told his parents that he is 'laughing' seeing the tweets and messages.
"There was talk of going to Arshdwip before the bombing. He was right, 'I'm laughing at all these tweets and jokes. I've turned out to be positive. This incident gave Mok more confidence. '- Arshdeep's father Darshan, who is currently the head of security guards of a private company, said soon after landing in Chandigarh on Monday.
Present at the Inter-National Cricket Stadium in Dubai, I wanted to play against Pakistan in The Father's Vision of Arshadwip and Mother's Kingdom. Just as Virat kohli had mentioned in the mech's news conference that the party's leadership felt that it was a difficult day in the game to give it to the island of Arshadwip, it also revealed to the mother of the island that the entire Indian team was struggling to find a tough day.
"Arshdeep has informed us that the entire Indian team is supporting him. "
The left-handed seamer fell victim to social media trolls after he dropped pakistan batsman Asif Ali's roughly regulation chance at number 18 after he switched off the chase off ravi bishnoy's bowling. This drop proved costly as If hit 6 and 4 in bhuvneshwar Kumar's next over swinging the match completely towards Pakistan. Arshdeep trapped Asif LBW in the last over but by then he had taken Pakistan to a touching distance of victory.
Arshdeep's father gave a startling reply when asked about the treatment meted out by their son.
"It feels really bad as a parent. He is only 23 years old. I don't want to talk much about trolls. Not everyone's mouth can be shut. There is no game without fans. Some stand by you anyway and others can't digest a single loss. But only one team can win at the end of the day. "It says philosophy.
India are now facing a life-and-death situation in the next two Super 4 matches against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan to get a chance to qualify for sunday's final.
