Bharat Arun Warns on Arshdeep's Match Rhythm, Backs Bumrah for Full Asia Cup

The former India bowling coach says the compact tournament raises the premium on fast-bowlers arriving with game-time rhythm.

Overview

  • Arun told PTI that Arshdeep Singh is short on recent competitive overs and must find match rhythm quickly for the Asia Cup in the UAE.
  • Since IPL 2025, Arshdeep’s only game time was a Duleep Trophy outing for North Zone where he returned 1/51 and scored 12.
  • He noted Arshdeep’s rhythm could return immediately or take a couple of matches, underscoring the value of actual match bowling over nets.
  • On Jasprit Bumrah, Arun believes the pacer should be able to play every T20 in the short tournament, though the final call rests with the player and team management.
  • Harshit Rana was highlighted as pace depth with effective slower balls, a solid yorker, and new-ball movement, but Arun said consistency and execution remain his key tests.
