Arshdeep Singh has recently credited Jasprit Bumrah for the manner in which the former has been bowling. Arshdeep is currently India's leading wicket-taker in T20Is. Barring a few bilateral series, Arshdeep and Bumrah bowled in tandem with a high success rate at the T20 World Cup 2024 in which both of them enjoyed a lot of success, also playing a crucial part in the Men in Blue's triumph.

Arshdeep also joked about how Bumrah seemed to have perfected the art of bowling yorkers on demand on any occasion on which he wants to. The left-armer also admitted that he admires Wasim Akram's bowling and the characteristic manner in which he used to bowl in the montage videos on the numerous YouTube videos.

“So the vending machine or whatever the highest level is, it goes to Jassi (Jasprit Bumrah) bhai. That goes to him. After that yes, if you press the yorker button in such a vending machine if the ball falls somewhere close, if the batter gets out or does not go for a six, then yes, you can put me in that. So all the credit goes to Jassie bhai for the way I bowl,” he said on Breakfast with Champions.

“All left-arm pacers that are there on YouTube, I don’t think I’ve missed anyone’s video yet. If I used to watch yorkers, I really liked Wasim Akram’s compilation video. In all the videos, he was hitting only the stumps. A lefty throwing these in-swings in reverse swing to a righty, I used to enjoy it a lot,” he added.

Arshdeep recently starred in an Asia Cup 2025 clash against Sri Lanka in the Super Over in which he wonderfully bowled to concede only two runs along with picking up a couple of wickets. He is considered as an ace bowler for India in the 20-over format, which can be testified by his stats that make him the only bowler for India with 100-plus wickets in the shortest form of the game.

Arshdeep recreates "final match what happening' moment

Arshdeep is coming off a couple of India A matches against Australia A. He picked up a three-wicket haul (3/38 in 10 overs) during the third unofficial ODI in Kanpur on October 5.
