According to Sachin, Arshdeep showed a lot of promise and appeared to be a balanced individual. The bowler appears to be committed from what Sachin has seen of him, as one can tell by looking at a player's attitude.
What Sachin really appreciated about Arshdeep was that he sticks to his plans when he has them, which is crucial in this format because batsmen are taking extra risks and trying out innovative shots.

The edit history of Arshdeep's Wikipedia page revealed that the user who made those changes was unregistered and was using the internet protocol (IP) address 39.41.171.125. When the address was tracked, the records showed that the particular address was allocated to the Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL).
Virat Kohli had some strong words of support for young pacer Singh.
"Even when I played my first game against Pakistan in Champions Trophy, I played a bad shot and got out. Anyone can make mistakes under pressure. It is natural to feel bad. The team environment is great right now, credit for this goes to management and captain. So one must accept his mistake, address it and look forward to being in that pressure situation once again," he had said.
