Arshdeep praised Varun’s bowling
Praising Varun’s bowling, Arshdeep said, “Varun is bowling brilliantly these days, because in T20 cricket it is very important to take wickets in the middle overs. If the batsman is not out at that time, it becomes easier to score runs later, which makes bowling in the death overs difficult. But Varun has consistently taken wickets in the middle overs, and I hope he will continue taking wickets like this.”
