Former Indian pacer RP Singh loaded acclaim on the Punjab Kings (PBKS) pace bowling unit for their performance against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Monday. The Mayank Agarwal-drove side arose champs by 11 runs at the Wankhede Stadium, with the pacers assuming a major part in it.
Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada played a fundamental role in controlling the run chase of 187 across both ends of the innings. The bowling unit choked CSK to a score of 32-2 in the powerplay. At the end of the innings, the quick bowling pair limited the run-scoring, establishing the groundwork for the success eventually.
PBKS Pacers Bowled With A lot Of Impact: RP Singh
Taking note of the pace bowling as the greatest contrast in the contest between CSK and PBKS, RP Singh said on Cricbuzz:
“CSK almost bowled two overs extra by bowling 11 wides. The biggest difference in the contest was the fast bowling. PBKS pacers bowled with a lot of impacts. Arshdeep looks like a much more confident bowler now, his execution of variations is very good. If you look, he landed every one of his yorkers except maybe one. If you have command over your yorker, you always bowl well in the death.”
The left-arm pacer, ostensibly bowling the hardest overs of the innings, returned figures of 2-23. Rabada, who took the vital wicket of the very much set Ambati Rayudu, went about as the ideal guide with a spell representing 1-23.
Having previously delivered left-arm seamers at a daunting rate, India has evaporated in this sector throughout the last ten years. With a few such pacers currently getting through the IPL like Khaleel Ahmed, T Natarajan, Chetan Sakariya, and Arshdeep Singh, the wait could end soon.
Arshdeep Best Left-arm Seamer Prospect In India: Parthiv Patel
Rating Arshdeep as the best left-arm seamer prospect right now, Parthiv Patel said:
“Arshdeep bowled the toughest overs of the innings. In the powerplay, when the batters were set and again in the death. Arshdeep closed the game. He planned well, if you see, a point, short third man, and another fielder behind that. He bowled according to that field. “
Patel added:
“His confidence has come off the previous season for PBKS. There is always talk of India needing left-arm seamers and now Arshdeep, Natarajan and Khaleel are bowling well, but among them, Arshdeep ranks higher because he consistently does the job under pressure.
PBKS will be hoping to earn some genuine kick as they start the final part of the competition with a crucial success. The Mayank Agarwal-drove side will now be up against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the MCA Stadium in Pune on April 29.
