Former left-arm fast bowler Zaheer Khan played an important role in the Indian team’s victory in the ICC ODI World Cup 2011. Zaheer Khan’s performance in international cricket has always been excellent and he left his mark against the batsmen of the opposing team.

Zaheer Khan always kept the pressure on the players of the opposing team with his reverse swing. But after the departure of Zaheer Khan, Team India is missing a left-arm fast bowler a lot. Jaspreet Bumrah is leading the pace attack well but the advantage of being a left-arm fast bowler is not only for the team but also for the bowler.

Amitoj Singh made a big statement about Arshdeep Singh’s career

It is worth noting that Arshdeep Singh, who comes from Punjab, has almost cemented his place in Team India’s white ball cricket and is being seen as Team India’s next Zaheer Khan. Arshdeep Singh has also played a role in Team India’s victorious campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024. However, he is still away from red ball cricket and many experts believe that Arshdeep is capable of filling the void left by Zaheer Khan.

Amitoj Singh, a 35-year-old domestic cricketer from India, is currently playing with Manipal Tigers in the Legends League Cricket 2024 tournament. He is one of the well-known cricketers from Punjab. In an exclusive interview with Crictracker, he has shared his views on the left-arm fast bowler’s spot in Team India.

Question: India is lacking left-handed bowlers since the departure of Zaheer Khan in Team India, how do you see Arshdeep Singh?

Amitoze Singh’s answer: “I think Arshdeep Singh can do as well in the red ball as he is doing in the white ball. He needs a little more consistency and a little more performance in the Ranji Trophy, due to which he can get a breakthrough in red ball cricket.”

“The way he swings the white ball as well, I think he will be very useful and lethal as a left-arm fast bowler in whatever conditions there are in England and abroad.”
