Rectification offers personal satisfaction, although it can take time for some to move past past mistakes. It was evident during the match between India C and India D at Anantapur, where Arshdeep Singh's powerful six offered him a chance to undo his earlier error in the India-Sri Lanka game.

‌Choosing to field first proved advantageous for India C, as they quickly dismissed Atharva Taide in the opening over. The situation worsened for India D when Shreyas Iyer, Devdutt Padikkal, and Yash Dubey failed to make significant contributions, leaving the team struggling at 24/4 after seven overs. Ricky Bhui’s departure in the 11th over further compounded their troubles. With the dismissals of Srikar Bharat, Saransh Jain, and Harshit Rana, Iyer’s team was reeling at 76/8 after 33 overs. The spotlight turned to Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel to salvage the innings. Arshdeep, displaying composure, managed to hit a crucial six off Anshul Kamboj.

On the fifth ball of the 41st over, Kamboj delivered a short ball that Arshdeep capitalized on. With precise timing and a well-judged swing, Arshdeep sent the ball soaring over deep mid-wicket for a massive six. This shot was a significant redemption for Arshdeep, who had faced criticism for his decision to attempt a six off the last ball in the earlier India-Sri Lanka match when India needed just one run. The attempt led to a draw and sparked considerable backlash. The Twitterati were quick to draw parallels and celebrate Arshdeep’s powerful shot, acknowledging his comeback.
