From being the most expensive bowler on the night, Arshdeep Singh became the last-over action hero to steal a memorable heist for his team at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Just 10 runs, a rampaging Matthew Wade on strike, and a profligate seamer to defend those runs; India seemed resigned to the fate of an eventual defeat before the left-arm seamer did the unexpected star turn and nailed the Australian captain with the third ball to effectively seal the match, which they edged with a six-run margin to wrap up the series 4-1.
Arshdeep’s three previous overs had bled 37 runs, a continuation of a troubled series wherein he had looked both out of rhythm and out of ideas. He has leaked 10.38 runs an over while nabbing just four wickets in as many games. But the last over would probably provide a timely upshot of confidence to put up a legitimate case for being included in the T20 World Cup squad.
