He's a gentle senior, always very polite: Arshdeep Singh lauds his partnership with Jasprit Bumrah

Arshdeep Singh lauds his bowling partnership with Jasprit Bumrah, calling him a polite senior. The duo shone in India's T20I win over South Africa.

"He's a gentle senior, never harsh on youngsters and always very polite. - Arshdeep Singh"

Cuttack, December 10

India's speedster Arshdeep Singh praised his partnership with Jasprit Bumrah, calling him a "gentle senior" who's polite and supportive. He says bowling with Bumrah makes things easier, as batters tend to attack him, making his job more effective.

This comes after India outplayed South Africa to seal a dominant 101-run victory in the opening T20I on Tuesday. Singh achieved a significant milestone as he became the joint-highest wicket-taker for India in the first six overs of T20Is, claiming 47 wickets. He now stands level with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who also has 47 scalps in this phase of the game.

Arshdeep delivered with the new ball, finishing with impressive figures of 2/14 from his two overs. Bumrah, meanwhile, reached his own milestone by completing 100 wickets in T20Is. He returned figures of 2/17 in three overs, maintaining relentless pressure on the visitors.

Bumrah became only the second from his team to complete 100 wickets in T20Is and joined the elite list of bowlers to have completed 100 wickets in all formats of international cricket.

"My relationship with him is very good. He's a gentle senior, never harsh on youngsters and always very polite. Being Punjabi as well, it's easy for both of us to gel. Bowling with him makes things easier for me because batters usually look to attack my overs. Even bad balls can get me wickets because they know they won't get easy runs at the other end. It benefits me, and I absolutely enjoy bowling alongside him," Arshdeep Singh said on JioStar.

Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel also chipped in with two wickets each, while Hardik Pandya added one to his tally with 1/16. Shivam Dube wrapped up the match by dismissing the final batter, Lutho Sipamla.

India's total of 175 proved more than enough as the bowlers combined to dismantle South Africa. India is now 1-0 up in the five-match T20I series.

Bumrah is a legend, no doubt. But full credit to Arshdeep for his own performance. 2/14 in 2 overs is outstanding economy. He's not just riding on Bumrah's reputation, he's creating his own. Well done, lad!

The "gentle senior" comment is so sweet. It shows the real character of our players beyond just cricket. This partnership is a dream for any captain. Hope they continue this form into the World Cup.

As a neutral fan, this is brilliant to watch. Bumrah's control at one end allows Arshdeep to be more aggressive. A classic case of a perfect bowling partnership. South Africa had no answers.

A small note of caution: While the win is great, let's not get carried away. It's just the first match of a long series. The real test will be on pitches that don't offer as much help. But yes, the start is perfect! 👍
