Srinagar, May 17: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has termed Punjab Kings left arm seamer Arshdeep Singh as special talent who has kept like of MS DHoni and Hardik Pandya quiet in the slog overs during ongoing IPL 2022.
“Arshdeep is a special player. He is young, confident and accurate. All these qualities distinguish him from the bowlers of his age,” said Irfan Pathan on Star Sports.
“He’s keeping big players like MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya or someone else silent in the death overs and that speaks volumes about the kind of talent he possesses.”
Pathan said that the fact that Arshdeep is getting recognition in PBKS despite sharing a dressing room with an established international star like Kagiso Rabada shows how effective he has been.
“His growth has been phenomenal. Despite the presence of a proven international pacer in Kagiso Rabada, an uncapped Indian seamer is getting the recognition proves how good a talent he is. He’s going to be the next big thing for Punjab Kings,” he said.
