Team India are currently busy playing the home ODI series against the Kiwis. But, Rohit Sharma has not shown any faith so far in the series in the young pacer Arshdeep Singh. He had a decent home T20I series against Sri Lanka recently. In two matches, he took three wickets. 

But, during the second T20I, he made headlines when Arshdeep bowled five no-balls. Thus, he conceded 37 runs in just two overs. So, all fans along with other players were in shock to see him in such a form. Now, the former Aussie pacer Brett Lee opened up about the same matter.

“It would be a hard pill to swallow for him.” - Brett Lee on Arshdeep Singh

In a video on his YouTube channel, Brett Lee said: "I saw India's Arshdeep Singh completely lose it in that T20 game against Sri Lanka a few days back. He bowled no ball after no ball after no ball. 5 no balls in that game. It would be a hard pill to swallow for him.” 

“He only bowled two overs conceding 37 runs. And he was returning to the side after being sidelined with an injury. He overstepped three times in a row in his second over. Sometimes a bowler can lose rhythm when they are coming back from an injury because they are trying too hard. They lose their shape and momentum. It's tough because you want to achieve that dream of picking wickets and keep the captain happy," Lee added. 

However, the former pacer also said that Arshdeep has the ability to make a comeback. "No ball is a bowler's worst enemy. Nothing costs a bowler more mental agony and embarrassment than a no-ball because you not only have to bowl an extra delivery, you give the license to the batter to do anything he/she wants. It's a dagger through the bowler's heart. I believe Arshdeep has the goods to back it up. My advice to him would go back to training, delete it, find out what you did wrong and learn from that mistake," Brett Lee concluded.
