India’s fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is in the headlines these days, and the reason is his killer confidence.

Ahead of the five-Test series against England, Arshdeep opened his heart in an interview given to BCCI.
He said, “When I hold the ball, I feel I am the best!”
But as soon as the talk came about his senior and world’s top bowler Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep said in a very funny way,
“When you are bowling with Bumrah bhai, there is no question of comparison!”
Why is Arshdeep called the King of Confidence?
Arshdeep and Bumrah showed amazing performance together in making India the champion in the 2024 T20 World Cup. But this is their first pairing in Test cricket. Arshdeep, who is set to make his Test debut in this series, is excited to bowl with a legend like Bumrah.
He said, “I don’t compare, I just think about how to help my teammates and the team.”
This shows that Arshdeep’s focus is only on improving his game and making the team win.
During training in Kent, Arshdeep also mentioned bowling to the Indian batsmen. He told that young batsmen like Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan are in great form.
“It was fun to bowl to the batsmen. They were playing so well that we had to work hard to get them out!”
Arshdeep said laughing. Praising Sai Sudarshan, who is in the Test team for the first time, Arshdeep said that he is also looking in great form.
Why is Arshdeep waiting for Test debut?
Arshdeep may get a chance to make his Test debut in this series starting in Leeds from June 20. Talking about training in Kent,
he said, “This place is very calm and relaxing. My focus is on getting into rhythm with the red ball, especially after IPL 2025.”
Arshdeep’s passion and hard work shows that he is ready to make a splash in Test cricket as well.
After the retirement of seniors like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and R Ashwin, this Indian team will enter the field with new energy.
Young players like Arshdeep are eager to make their mark in this series.
