The former India all-rounder feels that players shouldn’t commit basic mistakes and reckons that head coach Rahul Dravid will be worried after the 16-run loss, which came a day after India’s jailbreak in Mumbai.
Speaking on India News, Sodhi said:
Arshdeep conceded 37 runs and bowled five no-balls during his two overs, including a hat-trick of no-balls in his first over, which played a pivotal role in helping Sri Lanka post 206/6.
To add fuel to the fire, Shivam Mavi and Umran Malik also bowled one no-ball each, giving Sri Lanka seven free-hits.
“He didn’t look fully match fit” – Saba Karim on Arshdeep Singh
Saba Karim, meanwhile, said Arshdeep Singh didn’t look 100 percent fit after recovering from illness. He feels that players who make a comeback in international cricket after gaps should play domestic cricket or practice games to get a place in the team.
Speaking on the same show as Reetinder Singh Sodhi, the former India selector said:
Arshdeep represented the Men in Blue after more than a month’s gap. He previously played for India during the white-ball series in November in New Zealand. So far, the left-arm seamer has bowled 14 no-balls in 22 T20Is.
His performance has put a question mark on his place in the playing XI for the series decider in Rajkot on Saturday, January 7.
