Arshdeep Singh made history on Sunday by becoming the first Indian fast bowler to achieve a 5-wicket haul against South Africa in a one-day international match held in South Africa. Despite a challenging T20I series performance, Arshdeep displayed exceptional skill and determination in Johannesburg on the Pink Day, causing significant disruption to the Proteas’ batting lineup after they won the toss and chose to bat.
Arshdeep Singh concluded the match with remarkable figures of 5 for 37 in 10 overs, joining an elite group of bowlers and becoming only the fourth player to secure a 5-wicket haul against South Africa in ODIs for India. Additionally, he joins the ranks of Yuzvendra Chahal as the second Indian bowler to achieve this feat in ODIs held in South Africa.
Arshdeep and Avesh Khan formed a formidable partnership, claiming a total of 9 wickets, leaving their opponents in disarray. South Africa’s batting unit crumbled under the pressure, losing wickets in quick succession, and eventually ending with a record low score of 116.
