IND vs PAK 2022: [Watch] Arshdeep Singh styles his moustache after dismissing Pakistan's openers in 2 overs
Arshdeep Singh has become the talk of the town after his magnificent opening spell against Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2022. Playing at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Arshdeep dismissed Pakistan skipper Babar Azam on the first ball of his T20 World Cup career.
The left-arm pacer bowled a full delivery on the middle and leg stump line. The ball swung into the right-hander and hit his pads. Babar Azam had no answer to the delivery and was adjudged LBW.
In his next over, Arshdeep dismissed Babar's opening partner Mohammad Rizwan. The Pakistan opener handed a catch to Bhuvneshwar Kumar off Arshdeep's bowling.
Soon after dismissing the two Pakistani openers, Arshdeep was spotted styling his moustache. You can watch the video here:
