Former Indian coach of fast bowling Bharat ARUN believes that Arshdeep Singh goes to the Asia Cup without sufficient perspective. The fast left arm pitch, which is on the verge of picking up 100 T20i goals, has not played an international game since February 2025.

Arshdeep returned to India and played only one game in the duleep trophy before he flew to the UAE Join the Indian team for the Asia Cup 2025. Despite bowling in networks throughout the Indian test series of five matches against England Bharat Arnu believes that Arshdeep has in practice.
“Arshdeep, we all know what he can do. He had to bow a lot in England, but he certainly doesn’t have a match. Rhythm really comes from playing matches, no matter how much you miss the network and practice sitting,” Bharat said in an interview.
“I think there is an important mission in the matches. It’s a big challenge for Arshdeep. How quickly his rhythm of the match would be very, very important. It can be in Jiffy, or it may take a few matches to get to the rhythm,” added coach.
Arshdeep Singh has 99 goals T20i out of 63 matches. If he is able to take a goal in Asia Cup 2025, he will become the first Indian to achieve a milestone of 100 goal T20i.
India plays Sae, Oman and Pakistan in their group phases on the Asia Cup, a tournament where the team is expected to be heavy favorite to raise the title.
