**Gwalior, India:** Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh was full of praise for teammate Mayank Yadav after the latter’s impressive T20I debut in India’s 7-wicket win against Bangladesh in Gwalior. “Really excited with the way everyone bowled, especially Mayank,” Arshdeep said, “Even my normal balls felt like slower balls compared to his pace.”

The 22-year-old Mayank, who made headlines with his blistering pace in the Indian Premier League, lived up to expectations, clocking speeds upwards of 145 kmph and even reaching 156.7 kmph during his four-over spell. He finished with impressive figures of 1/21, leaving Bangladesh batters bamboozled.

Arshdeep, meanwhile, continued his stellar form, claiming the Player of the Match award for his 3/14 at an economy of 3.70. He ripped through Bangladesh’s top order in the powerplay and finished the innings with a crucial wicket in the final over.

“There was some breeze from the side I was bowling, so I used that,” Arshdeep said about his bowling performance. “It’s just minor changes in the run-up, in the wrist. It’s just exploring how I can get better and trying out things. The more you play, the better you get.”

With the series now shifting to Delhi, both teams will look to build on their performances in the second T20I.
