The left-arm pacer spoke about his partner and recent engagement following India's 22-run victory over New Zealand in Mount Maunganui.
Cricketer Arshdeep Singh spoke about his fiancee and her support after India secured a 22-run victory over New Zealand in the fifth ODI at Mount Maunganui on Sunday, according to the Times of India. The win allowed India to clinch the five-match series 3-1.
The Player of the Match, who finished with figures of 3/30, said his partner helps him maintain the right mindset. Arshdeep stated that his performance on the field depends on how he is working off the field and credited her for his success.
Reflecting on his recent engagement at Mount Maunganui beach, the 27-year-old pacer said he was tense before proposing but noted the view helped make the occasion memorable. He added that he could not ask for a better view.
Arshdeep also contributed with the bat, joining Mohammed Siraj to help India cross the 200-run mark. He noted that Siraj told him those runs would be crucial, and they aimed to provide a total to bowl at.
After New Zealand reached 64/1 in their chase, India took five wickets for 55 runs to bowl the hosts out for 187 in 48.1 overs. Yash Thakur claimed his maiden ODI wicket, while Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel took two wickets each.
The two teams are scheduled to meet next in a two-Test series starting on November 19.
