‘It’s for my girlfriend’ – Arshdeep Singh announces special celebration during ODI in Auckland (Source: SonyLiv and Arshdeep Singh) On Wednesday, November 4, at Eden Park in Auckland, Arshdeep Singh bowled a long ball that Henry Nicholls pulled straight into the hands of Naman Dhir at mid-wicket after the third delivery of the ninth over. The New Zealand batsman, who had scored nine runs off 11 deliveries with two boundaries, departed Chely. Singh’s second wicket of the game sparked a lively celebration that attracted attention for its personal significance rather than the usual on-field revelry.
There was something deeply personal about the Indian pacer’s forceful reaction to the dismissal. The left-arm pacer later explained that the dance moves he performed were a gesture he shared with his girlfriend Samreen Kaur, a Punjab-based actress and model. Arshdeep and Samreen are close and the celebration on the field reflects the moment of bonding even if the two are not together.
“This party is for my girlfriend. We do these dance moves when we walk or something. Whenever the mood is a bit depressed, we encourage each other with this celebration.
That’s how it was for them,” Arshdeep said on air between innings. How did Arshdeep Singh perform in the first ODI? Arshdeep was the main problem solver with the ball for the Men in Blue as they were without Mohammed Siraj in the crucial first game of the series.
Arshdeep led the fast-paced attack and made an immediate impact when he was first to influence the start of Will Young’s opener. Nicholls became his second victim of the day as the opening period gave the Indian the lead. Arshdeep’s first blood did not allow the BlackCs to force a return to the match.
During his final stint, the youngster sacked Glenn Phillips and Kyle Jamieson. “Enjoying time here and there is, on the surface, a good purchase. Coming from the subcontinent and finding a bit of life in the wickets, it’s always a pleasure to play here.
And yes, the wind helps too,” said the Guna native. “I felt like there was something in the wicket so we just tried to hit the seam hard and get the buy off the surface.” And they tried shots of that length, so we got the wickets,” Arshdeep added.
Arshdeep finished the game with figures of 10-0-70-4. It was India’s second four-wicket win in one-day internationals.
