By MyKhel Staff

Indian fans heaped praises on Arshdeep Singh for his sensational 4/9 spell against the USA during the T20 World Cup match in Group A on Wednesday, June 12. The young pacer's performance not only led India to a convincing win but also etched his name in the record books.

His exceptional bowling figures of 4/9 in four overs, including 17 dot balls, were pivotal in restricting the USA to a modest total of 110/8. This remarkable feat drew widespread acclaim on social media, with fans celebrating his outstanding display and hailing him as one of India's premier fast bowlers.

"Arshdeep Singh breathing fire today from his balls," read another tweet, capturing the admiration and excitement of the supporters.

"We don't rely on a single player; we have many match-winners. Arshdeep is the best example; what a sensational spell, damn perfect," praised a fan, highlighting the depth of talent in the Indian squad.

One fan humorously noted, "Opponents were scared to face Bumrah but Arshdeep Singh came out of syllabus."

Arshdeep Singh picked up four wickets while conceding just nine runs, creating a new Indian record at the T20 World Cup. He produced a phenomenal performance in the match against the USA, registering brilliant figures of 4/9 in his four overs, which helped restrict the home team to 110/8.

Arshdeep made an instant impact, bowling the opening over of the match and picking a wicket off his first delivery by dismissing Shayan Jahangir leg-before. He added another wicket in the same over, removing wicketkeeper-batter Andries Gous, giving India an early boost after Rohit Sharma opted to bowl.

As wickets continued to fall, Arshdeep was brought back into the attack in the 15th over. He removed the dangerous-looking Nitish Kumar, with Mohammed Siraj taking a brilliant catch at deep midwicket to end Nitish's innings. Arshdeep added another dismissal in his final over, removing Harmeet Singh, finishing with figures of 4/9.

With this performance, Arshdeep set a new Indian record for the best figures by an Indian bowler in T20 World Cup history. The previous record was held by Ravichandran Ashwin, who took four wickets for 11 runs against Australia in the 2014 T20 World Cup.

Team India has been in red-hot form in this tournament, securing wins in their first two matches. They defeated Ireland by eight wickets and registered a thrilling six-run win over arch-rival Pakistan in New York. With this victory against the USA, India booked their berth in the Super 8s of the T20 World Cup.
