The parents of bowler Arshdeep Singh extended their son and the entire Indian squad words of love and encouragement following India’s five-wicket loss to Pakistan at the ongoing Asia Cup 2022. They also stated that the family is taking all the remarks on the internet in a “good way.”
The 23-year-old Indian pacer is under fire for missing a crucial catch during Pakistan’s 18th over against India in the Super Four phase match as the latter team was attempting to score 182 runs. Asif Ali, whom Singh had dismissed, made the most of the opportunity presented to him by hitting Pakistani pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar for 19 runs in the subsequent over. The final over was assigned to Arshdeep Singh, who failed to stop seven runs.
After missing the critical catch, Arshdeep was the subject of cruel online trolls. On Singh’s Wikipedia page, “India” was changed to “Khalistan” by an anonymous user, but these changes were quickly reversed by another editor. Some handles from Pakistan reportedly started to operate as well.
The family was reportedly watching the game, according to Arshdeep’s father Darshan Singh. We are taking this all in a positive way. The match was very great. Everyone wants their side to win. When it does not, fans take their fury out on players through their remarks.
