Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh, who has developed into a specialist in death overs since his debut, credits his success to constructive self-criticism and consistently improving his game by even the smallest margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 26-year-old, representing Punjab Kings in the IPL, played a crucial role in his team\u2019s 11-run victory over Gujarat Titans, claiming key wickets of Sai Sudharsan and Sherfane Rutherford in their opening match of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discussing his growth as a cricketer, Arshdeep told JioHotstar: \u201cThe key is to improve by 1% to 1.5% after every game, every day \u2014 whether the performance was good or bad. I\u2019ve always believed that the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, whenever I get the chance, I engage in constructive self-criticism and strive to enhance my skill set, even if it\u2019s just by 1% or half a percent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PBKS, currently captained by stylish batter Shreyas Iyer, are looking to break their long-standing jinx of never winning an IPL title. Arshdeep is optimistic about the team’s chances this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking about his rapport with Shreyas Iyer and the new skipper\u2019s leadership style, Arshdeep shared: \u201cI have played under Iyer\u2019s captaincy before in the Duleep Trophy, and I really enjoyed it. He always backed his players and gave them the freedom to express themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat I\u2019ve observed here is that his approach remains the same \u2014 he doesn\u2019t impose rigid instructions but encourages players to trust their skills and play for the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe promotes a selfless mindset, assuring players of his full support. I really admire this, and as players, we will do our best to help him and contribute towards winning the title.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arshdeep, who has taken 78 wickets in 66 IPL matches and 99 wickets in 63 T20 Internationals for India, emphasized his willingness to step up in pressure situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI enjoy stepping up when the team is under pressure \u2014 whether it\u2019s stopping runs or taking wickets. When they hand me the ball in crucial moments, it feels good to know that they trust me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI genuinely enjoy the added responsibility, regardless of the situation. I try not to feel the pressure and instead focus on delivering my best for the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSuccess doesn\u2019t come overnight, but I ensure that any setbacks don\u2019t affect my bowling. Every time I get another opportunity, I give my all to help the team win,\u201d Arshdeep said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
