In a generation in which India's depth of bowling with the new ball is arguably as good as it has ever been, Arshdeep Singh has gone about establishing himself as one of the most dependable and versatile pacers in Indian cricket. With his swing with the new ball and laser-targeted yorkers, the 26-year-old has become India's death-overs specialist and recently put his name on the record books as the first Indian bowler to reach 100 wickets in T20 Internationals. On Breakfast with Champions, Arshdeep spoke about the inspiration for his success, crediting Pakistan great Wasim Akram and Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah for having influenced his art of bowling. The Punjab seamer conceded that his art has been crafted by watching Bumrah keenly and by learning from Akram's expertise with the old ball. It was a privilege to have a bowler legend like Jasprit Bumrah by your side and Arshdeep maximized that. In fact, the combination of Arshdeep and Bumrah was simply excellent and pivotal in India's T20 World Cup 2024 win.

Arshdeep now has 101 victims at a mean of 18.76. Arshdeep's transformation has been enormous. He started his professional career in the IPL in the Covid period and rose to become one of India's most reliable white-ball bowlers in a short while. Asked about the accuracy of his yorkers, he was quick to refer to his senior colleague. Here is what Arshdeep said: “So the vending machine or whatever the highest level is, it goes to Jassie (Jasprit Bumrah) bhai. That goes to him. After that yes, if you press the yorker button in such a vending machine if the ball falls somewhere close, if the batter gets out or does not go for a six, then yes, you can put me in that. So all the credit goes to Jassie bhai for the way I bowl,” “All left-arm pacers that are there on YouTube, I don’t think I’ve missed anyone’s video yet. If I used to watch yorkers, I really liked Wasim Akram’s compilation video. In all the videos, he was hitting only the stumps. A lefty throwing these in-swings in reverse swing to a righty, I used to enjoy it a lot,”
