During the third T20I against South Africa two years ago, India’s T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, was seen to show anger against their left-arm pacer, Arshdeep Singh, in the team bus as the videos went viral on social media platforms.

Now, a current video has gone viral on socials, where Suryakumar was asked about the reason, to which he revealed how he suggested Arshdeep angrily to retain the same character and behavior even irrespective of whether he picked up two wickets or leaked 40-50 runs in his four-over spell for India.

“I said to him in the team bus, and I was a little grumpy, and I said, no matter whether you leak 40 runs or 50, you should show the same character. It’s not like you would be happy only if you pick two or three wickets for 18 runs in four overs. Always display the same character, and I advised him that his bowling career would change completely with comfort.” Sky expressed during the interaction.

Arshdeep has picked up a total of 105 wickets to be India’s leading wicket-taker in 67 innings at an average of 18.59 and a strike rate of 13.3 with the help of two four-wicket hauls at the best figures of 4/9 in an inning.

“Later, Arshdeep started the tag that one shouldn’t stop enjoying. Now, you can see him. No matter what happens, he is always chill on the ground. If we go with two fast bowlers in the playing eleven, then Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh are confirmed to participate. But in Dubai during the Asia Cup 2025, the situation was where only Bumrah could play, but Arshdeep didn’t have any issue with it.” Sky addressed the video.

“He didn’t come and ask why he didn’t play, or why he should have played. So, Arshdeep is now a changed man. He knows what the team requires at what position. And whenever the opportunity comes, he will deliver with the ball. Once the Sri Lanka game came, he bowled the last over and the super over to win us the game.” India’s T20I captain concluded.
