The 24-year-old revealed details about his own form as well. He remarked that he has improved with experience despite acknowledging his subpar results over the past 12 months. In the last match, he said he tried a couple different varieties, and he said it worked well for him, giving him some confidence.
“My experiences over the past 12 months have been inconsistent.” A couple of the performances were excellent, and I picked up some new knowledge. My performances were indifferent because there were some ups and downs as well. To be more precise, I have started bowling with the new ball lately, particularly on slow surfaces. I tried a couple different things in the last game, especially against left-handers, and it seemed to work and boost my confidence a little. If not, I’m attempting to hone my abilities,” Arshdeep Singh remarked.
