Tiwary to Arshdeep: Step Up or Be Left Behind!
3 May
Summary
- Arshdeep Singh's costly spells prompt Manoj Tiwary's call for improvement.
- The pacer has struggled, taking only eight wickets in eight games.
- Punjab Kings have conceded over 195 runs in most matches this season.

Former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary has expressed concern over Arshdeep Singh's current form, urging the Punjab Kings' lead bowler to perform better. Tiwary noted that Arshdeep has been too expensive, conceding a high number of runs, which is not expected from a Team India bowler.
Singh has managed only eight wickets in eight games during IPL 2026, with an economy rate close to 11. His recent performances include leaking runs at an economy exceeding 10 in his last three matches, and a career-worst spell of 68 runs in four overs against Mumbai Indians.
Punjab Kings have faced significant bowling challenges, having conceded over 195 runs in almost all their matches this season. This pattern includes giving up 264 runs against Delhi Capitals and 223 against Rajasthan Royals, underscoring the team's broader struggles with the ball.
