IND vs HK: Arshdeep Singh Was Missing The Radar And Avesh Khan Was Expensive – Reetinder Sodhi Slams Young Pacers

Former India National Cricket Team player Reetinder Sodhi slammed the young pacers Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan for their poor show with the ball in the Asia Cup 2022 match against Hong Kong National Cricket Team at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.

India registered a comprehensive 40-run win over Hong Kong in the Asia Cup encounter, but youngsters Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan had a pretty forgettable day on the field. Both the young pacers bagged one wicket each, but Avesh ended up conceding 53 runs and Arshdeep ended up giving away 44 runs.

Speaking to India News Sports, Sodhi said that India’s pace bowling was extremely under par against Hong Kong. He added that the confidence of the young pacers would have taken a hit after the poor performance against Hong Kong.

He stated: “When compared with how we bowled against Pakistan, our pace bowling was extremely under par. Arshdeep was missing the radar and Avesh was expensive.

“If you get hit by Hong Kong, then it won’t let you sleep that night. The confidence of a bowler takes a hit with such a performance.”

Both Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh were having problems again Hong Kong – Saba Karim

Former India National Cricket Team wicketkeeper-batsman Saba Karim said that both the young pacers struggled against Hong Kong, but Avesh in particular has been missing his hard lengths for a while. He added that the bowling coach Paras Mhambrey will have to work separately with Avesh.

He asserted: “When you maintain a high standard of bowling and you play against the lesser teams, there is an even bigger need of being ruthless. However, both Avesh and Arshdeep were having problems.

“Avesh in particular seems to be missing his hard lengths for a while and I think Paras (Mhambrey) might need to work separately with him and Avesh needs to find the right length even for his variations.”
