In the hierarchy, Arshdeep Singh ought to come before Mohammed Siraj: Anil Kumble

The left-arm bowler performed admirably in the last over of India’s six-run triumph over Pakistan. Then, in the match against the USA, he claimed four wickets and was named Player of the Match.

Arshdeep Singh ought should be ahead of Mohammed Siraj in the rankings for the duration of the competition, according to Kumble’s observation. Given that the entire Super 8 series is scheduled to take place in the West Indies, India might decide to add another spinner. In light of this, Kumble said that he provides further variation and maintained Arshdeep’s lead in the race.

“Arshdeep’s final over against Pakistan and his ability to bowl in a variety of spots during a Twenty20 match, in my opinion, definitely pushed him ahead of Mohammed Siraj. If India chooses to use Hardik Pandya and the two seamers alone, that is. Thus, sure, in that regard, and he also adds another layer of variation with his left arm pace,” Kumble told ESPNcricinfo.
