Watch: Arshdeep does Stuart Broad-like celebrappeal after early wicket for India vs USA
[ad_1]
Arshdeep Singh was breathing fire in his first spell in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 match against the USA at the Nassau County Cricket Ground in New York on Wednesday, June 12. Arshdeep struck with the first delivery of the Group A match, getting Shayan Jahangir out LBW for 0. Arshdeep was so confident that he came up with a ‘celebrappeal’ before the on-field umpire raised his finger to give the USA batter out.

Arshdeep Singh did not even turn back and look at the umpire during his follow-through as had his hand up, not to appeal but to celebrate the scalp. Arshdeep hit a good length and brought the ball back into the right-hander, trapping Shayan Jahangir plumb in front. ‘Celebrappeal’ became a thing in cricket after Stuart Broad celebrated while appealing in Test cricket for England.
Arshdeep Singh struck twice in the first over as he dismissed senior batter Andries Gous for 2 in the last delivery of the first over. Andries, an experienced batter, was undone by a well-directed short ball. Andries got a top-edge that was safely pouched by Hardik Pandya.

Arshdeep Singh’s double blow rocked the USA as they huffed and puffed to 18 for 2 at the end of the powerplay. Aaron Jones and Steven Taylor struggled for any momentum in the first six overs as Arshdeep, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya kept the pressure on the USA batters.
Arshdeep was not in the best of forms in IPL 2024, but the left-handed pacer has stepped up in the T20 World Cup for India, relishing the bowler-friendly conditions in New York’s Nassau County Cricket Stadium. Arshdeep has picked up 5 wickets in 3 matches so far, taking wickets with the new ball regularly for India.
USA were dealt with a big blow at the start of the game as they missed captain Monank Patel due to an injury. Aaron Jones stepped in as the skipper of the match for their big-ticket clash against India.
USA had headed into the match with a lot of confidence after having beaten Canada and Pakistan in their first two Group A matches of the T20 World Cup 2024.
