IND vs WI 2022: “How many Arshdeep jerseys ?”- Arshdeep Singh trends on Twitter after logistical issues
Arshdeep Singh remained the focal point amid logistical drama at St. Kitts during the second T20I between India and West Indies on Monday (August 1).
The lack of jerseys forced a couple of Indian players to wear the pacer's extra jerseys. The development came even as the much-anticipated affair witnessed a delay of three hours due to logistical issues. Thus, fans had something to enjoy after choosing to stay awake late into the night for the match despite India's loss.
Everyone was taken by surprise when Arshdeep Singh came out to open with Rohit Sharma. Fans quickly realized that it was Suryakumar Yadav wearing the youngster’s jersey. Later, Avesh Khan was seen donning one of the the left-arm pacer's extra jerseys. Here’s how social media reacted:

Cricket West Indies said in a statement,:
“Due to circumstances beyond Cricket West Indies (CWI) control, there have been significant delays in crucial team luggage arriving into St Kitts from Trinidad.”
Amid all the hassles, Team India did not enjoy a great day in the field as their winning streak against the Caribbeans came to an end. The batting department failed horribly as the visitors got bowled out for just 138 runs in 19.4 overs. The Men in Blue lost the last-over thriller by five wickets.

West Indies finally breathed a sigh of relief after registering their first victory in the white-ball series against India. After Obed McCoy registered WI's best T20I figures (6/17), Brandon King (68) played a vital role in the run chase. Devon Thomas (31*) held his nerves as the match got tighter in the latter stages of the game, as West Indies won the match by five wickets with four balls to spare.
Arshdeep Singh finished with 1/26 as the Indian bowlers failed to defend a below-par total.
The Nicolas Pooran-led West Indies have now leveled the ongoing T20I series. The two sides will play each other again within a span of 24 hours, i.e., on Tuesday (August 2).
