“Then maybe he should have played some domestic matches first instead of coming directly into the International Cricket” – Twitter reacts after Arshdeep Singh gets valuable advice from his childhood coach after his terrible performance in Pune T20I against Sri Lanka

The second T20I between India and Sri Lanka ended in favour of Dasun Shanaka and Co at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune Pune. The visitors won the game by 16 runs and equalled the series 1-1.

With one more game to be played in the series, we can expect plenty of interesting things in store in the T20I series decider. The t is slated to be played on January 7, Saturday at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot.

Dasun Shanaka led the attack by example by scoring runs at the rate of knots. He took the bowling attack to cleaners by hitting two fours and 6 sixes to his name. Apart from him, Kusal Mendis chipped in with 52 off 32 balls including three boundaries and four sixes.

Arshdeep Singh’s childhood coach gives valuable advice to the paceman

Sri Lanka were able to get the extra punch in their batting as they capitalized on the chances to better effect. On the other hand, Indian seamer Arshdeep Singh had a bad day at the office as he leaked as many as 37 runs in just two overs.

He went wicketless in the game and also failed to adhere to the basics while bowling. Arshdeep Singh bowled as many as 5 no-balls and also became the first Indian bowler to carry this unwanted record.

Meanwhile, Arshdeep Singh’s childhood coach, while speaking to TOI said that the paceman was not looking in good rhythm during the match day. He further added that the no balls happened owing to the lack of practice.

Arshdeep’s childhood coach further added that he and Arshdeep will discuss this soon. It will be quite interesting to see how the Indian seamers would approach the series decider as the head coach Rahul Dravid confirmed that there will not be chopping and changing too much in the dead rubber. The Men in Blue haven’t lost a T20I series against Sri Lanka at home and will be looking to maintain this record.

They are learning don't blame them, as per the coach. For the last 2 years, different players are being played, so all are learning. Can the coach tell now, who is the top 11? It will go back to the older players who were selected before the coach came into the picture.

The reality of star players don’t do optional practice, no domestic cricket, no club cricket 🏏 and then 5 no balls in a single match unbelievable
