WI vs IND 2022 | Arshdeep Singh will be the future world no. 1 in T20Is, claims Kris Srikkanth

Arshdeep Singh has been a revelation for India over the past couple of months, quietly putting in one brilliant performance after another. The pacer has pretty much established himself as a first-team pick for T20Is for the time being, but it remains to be seen whether he is able to hold down that place when the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami return to the squad.

The part that has jumped out about Singh's short career on the international stage is his economy rate of 6.51. Despite facing two of the most explosive batting sides in the world, the left-arm medium-fast has managed to rein in the power hitters with excellent efficiency while still managing to take the occasional wicket. Such performances have earned him great plaudits from cricket experts, including Indian great Krishnamachari Srikkanth who urged national chief selector and former teammate Chetan Sharma to include the young bowler in India's World T20 squad.

India's next T20I assignment following the remaining two T20Is against West Indies in Florida would be the Asia Cup beginning later this month and would be the team's last away outing ahead of the World Cup in October. Singh will need to consistently put in good performances over the next month to secure his place in the squad and stave off competition from the likes of Avesh Khan and Harshal Patel.
