India pacer Arshdeep Singh has said that his family watching him playing the fourth T20I against West Indies in Lauderhill in the USA was pre-planned

The left-arm pacer, who picked three wickets for 38 runs in four overs, admitted of being under pressure to perform in front of them. The 24-year-old also talked about how he quickly got the hang of the situation.

“It was pre-planned,” said Arshdeep.

“Father is in Canada to play some tournament. So he tagged along with my brother and came to USA to watch me play.

“There was a bit of extra support. There was pressure also to perform well in front of them,” he added.

“I read the conditions quickly and realised that it is pretty flat. I bowled slower ones on my hard length,” he told Shubman Gill in a video posted by BCCI.tv.

Arshdeep Singh is the joint-highest wicket-taker in the ongoing 5-match series. He has picked six wickets in four matches at an average of 22.67.

India defeated West Indies by nine wickets after gunning down the 179-run target in 17 overs on Saturday. With the win, India levelled the 5-match series 2-2. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 84 off 51, while Shubman Gill smashed 77 off 47. The series-decided would be played at the same venue on Sunday.
