India's Arshdeep Singh, right, listens to captain Rohit Sharma before bowling his next delivery during the T20 cricket match of Asia Cup between India and Pakistan, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Sunday, Sept. 4, 2022. (AP Photo)With the India-Pakistan Asia Cup clash in Dubai poised nicely on Sunday night, 23-year-old pacer Arshdeep Singh dropped a sitter in the 18th over and the subsequent momentum shift took Pakistan to victory.
What followed was online bullying and trolling of Singh. His fellow pacer Mohammad Shami had also faced similar online attacks last year after India’s loss to Pakistan by 10 wickets in the T20 World Cup.
Singh on Monday found support from politicians from Punjab cutting across party lines. Several leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Congress, the BJP and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), and even former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh threw their weight behind the young cricketer.
The AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh, a former India cricket star, came out in Arshdeep’s support, tweeting, “Stop criticising young @arshdeepsinghh. No one drop the catch purposely..we are proud of our boys .. Pakistan played better.. shame on such people who r putting our own guys down by saying cheap things on this platform bout arsh and team.. Arsh is GOLD.”
