Harshit Rana Misses Cut, Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh's ability to take the new ball and bowl in death overs, combined with his left-arm variation, makes him a strong candidate to replace Jasprit Bumrah, and India's experienced players are back in form, making them a strong contender for the Champions Trophy.
Ricky Ponting, a former Australia great, thinks Arshdeep Singh can replace injured Jasprit Bumrah for India at the ICC Champions Trophy, citing Arshdeep's left-arm variation and ability to move the new ball, giving him an edge over Harshit Rana.
Ponting believes Arshdeep has the skills to take the new ball and bowl in death overs, similar to Bumrah, making him a strong candidate to fill the void left by the injured bowler. He notes that Arshdeep's ability to swing the ball and his variations make him a more suitable option than Harshit Rana, who has performed well in recent ODIs.
India have other options in their squad, including Mohammed Shami, Hardik Pandya, and Varun Chakravarthy, who can make an impact in the tournament. The team's recent series win against England has given them momentum, and their experienced players, including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, are back in form, making them a strong contender for the Champions Trophy.
With Ponting's endorsement, Arshdeep Singh is likely to be considered as a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah, and his performance in the upcoming tournament will be closely watched. India's squad depth and experienced players will be crucial in their quest for the Champions Trophy title.
