Team India have landed in the UK ahead of their upcoming five-Test series against England. While the team are busy with preparations, Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh has shared some insightful thoughts on his senior teammate, Jasprit Bumrah.
In a recent interview with the BCCI, Arshdeep spoke about how, when the two bowl together, there is no sense of comparison—rather, both focus on improving each other’s skills during practice.
“Whenever I hold the ball, I always feel that I am the best. But everyone knows—when you’re in an attack that includes a player named Jasprit Bumrah, the word ‘comparison’ doesn’t even exist. So, the focus is on how we can improve each other’s game, each other’s skill sets—and how we can help the team. That’s where my focus lies,” Arshdeep told BCCI.tv.
When it comes to international matches, both Arshdeep and Bumrah have bowled together predominantly in white-ball cricket.
Sai looked very compact: Arshdeep
In addition to training alongside a senior bowler like Bumrah, Arshdeep also shared his experience of bowling to batters like skipper Shubman Gill and the in-form Sai Sudharsan.
“It was fun bowling to the batters. They looked quite compact, and there was a competitive spirit—even though we were just working on rhythm, they were fully competing. So that made it even more enjoyable. We had to grind properly and try to get them out with a solid plan. Sai has joined the team for the first time, and he looked very compact too. The skipper looked in good touch. I’ll try my best to keep improving and get them out more often going forward,” Arshdeep said.
The left-arm pacer, who has proven himself a consistent wicket-taker in white-ball cricket, is in line to make his Test debut in the upcoming five-match series.
