I would definitely go with Arshdeep: Uthappa
India take on Ireland on June 5th
RCB misused Siraj: Uthappa
India is set to take on Ireland in the 2024 T20 World Cup on June 5th as part of their group stage encounter. Fans are really looking forward to what the batting and bowling combination of the squad could look like in the tournament. Former Indian batsman Robin Uthappa has opined that Arshdeep could complement Bumrah in the pace line-up. “For Bumrah, I would definitely go with Arshdeep. Bumrah, Arshdeep… I am quite confused. Seamers would be Hardik, and Shivam Dube. And I still feel like that’s a solid one because it gives you strength in the death bowling,” he said on his YouTube channel.

Robin Uthappa even provided a rationale for his decision. He took references from the recently concluded IPL to make his argument. “Because if you go with Siraj, somewhere I am not confident of Siraj as a death-bowling option just yet. Up front, he is devastating. He is really good with the new ball. RCB misused him with the new ball and giving him the third, fourth or fifth over. They should have handed him the ball in first over and said ‘go get us wickets,” Uthappa added.
