Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik have emerged as two of the most promising players for team India after earning a call-up for the national side following a decent stint in the IPL. Arshdeep opined that his partnership with Umran has helped him a lot.

Umran made his India debut during a two-match T20I series in Ireland in June and has featured in the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand. Meanwhile, Arshdeep has risen rapidly for the Men in Blue and made a mark in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2022.

“Things are quite enjoyable with Umran around. Like me, he also likes to crack jokes. As far as bowling is concerned, I get a lot of benefits (when he's bowling at the other end) as batters get deceived playing 135 km/h after his 155 km/h deliveries.

We enjoy a lot both on and off the field. We will try to keep this partnership going even off the field," Arshdeep said in a press conference ahead of the third and final ODI match against New Zealand.

Like in batting, bowling partnership is also important: Arshdeep Singh

While Umran relies on sheer pace, Arshdeep has the ability to get movement with the ball and maintains a decent line and length. The left-arm pacer further stated that partnerships play a key role be it batting or with the ball and one must be patient in a 50-over contest.

"ODI is a long game, partnerships play a key role, just like in batting, in bowling also partnership is important. I check how my partner at the other end is bowling on the other end. If he's bowling well, getting more out of the surface then I will try and stop the runs to help him out. At the end of the day, it's a team sport. If I am attacking, my partner at the other end will go on the defensive,” opined Arshdeep.
