Arshdeep Feels Like a Senior Player in the Team
The left-arm fast bowler shared his thoughts during the ‘Candid with Kings’ episode. He said, “Ever since I joined Punjab Kings, except for the first year, I started feeling like a senior player. I have been with this team for the last seven years, and after the first year, I understood that the team had trusted me with a big responsibility.”
Responsibility Helped Me Grow — Arshdeep
He added, “The responsibility given to me helped me grow as a player and as a person, both for the Indian team and the franchise.”
One Mistake Can Cost the Team — Arshdeep
Arshdeep also said that he learned early on how one small mistake could hurt the team. So he always stays alert on the field.
He said, “My role was made clear long ago. I knew I should not make any mistakes in the important moments of a match. If the strategy is not followed at such times, the team can be in big trouble. That is why I became serious about my role and started thinking like a senior player long ago.”
