"Could Have Been Other Way Around": Ravi Bishnoi On Arshdeep Singh's Dropped Catch vs Pakistan
NDTV
Arshdeep Singh dropped a crucial catch in India's Asia Cup defeat to Pakistan off Ravi Bishnoi's bowling, but the spinner backed his teammate and said it could "happen to the best".
He is all of 22 but Ravi Bishnoi full understands that cricket indeed is a cruel game and instead of Arshdeep Singh, it could have been him dropping an important sitter against Pakistan during the recently held Asia Cup. Arshdeep faced an unbelievable backlash on social media after he dropped Asif Ali's catch off Bishnoi's bowling in the Super 4s game that India lost.
Bishnoi, however, had impressive figures of 1/28 in 4 overs and was easily the best bowler in his only chance at the continental event.
"Paaji mere sabse acche dost hai (Paaji is a dear friend). We all know that dropped catches are part and parcel of game. It can happen with the best. It could well have been the other way round where he was bowling and I happened to drop the catch," Bishnoi, who has played 10 T20Is for India in 2022, told PTI during an interaction.
"Arshdeep is one of the bravest boys that I know. After that catch, you saw how he came and bowled at the death. It never looked as if he was perturbed. That's his mental strength," said the Rajasthan man, who is in the stand-by for the ICC T20 World cup.
