Watch: Arshdeep Singh puts the ball in his pocket, raises doubts of ball tampering
Arshdeep Singh has been very impressive in the little time that he has been around international cricket. Even in the ongoing 20-20 World Cup 2022, the young pacer has been impressive in the two matches that he has played. He picked up three wickets in the game against Pakistan on Sunday and followed it with two against the Netherlands today.
Arshdeep was caught doing a shady act during the match against the Netherlands, which raised eyebrows among the audience. In the 14th over of the second innings, Arshdeep Singh put the ball in his pocket while he wiped his hands. He then removed the ball and rubbed it on his jersey to give it some shine.

As for the match, India won the toss and decided to bat first at the Sydney Cricket Ground. KL Rahul’s batting woes persisted as he struggled to find his rhythm against a mediocre bowling attack. Paul van Meekeren’s inswinging delivery caught him LBW.
The team captain and Rahul’s opening partner, Rohit Sharam, on the other hand, struggled throughout his innings but still managed a half-century. He scored 53 runs in 39 balls by hitting four boundaries and three sixes. For a team score of 84, Fred Klaassen dismissed him in the 12th over.
Suryakumar Yadav then joined Virat Kohli in the centre, and the two lit up the stadium. The former Indian captain enhanced on his previous performance with another half-century in the tournament. Yadav also put in an outstanding performance to help India reach a massive total.
The latter hit a six on the last ball of the innings, helping India to a 179-run score and completing his half-century. Both players remained unbeaten, scoring 62 runs in 44 balls and 51 runs in 25 balls, respectively.
In the defence, the bowlers were outstanding. They kept taking regular wickets and kept the Dutch restricted to a score of 123/9, taking a 56-run victory in the match.
