Dubai [UAE], September 9 (ANI): Indian left-armer Arshdeep Singh saw UAE batters practising out in nets ahead of their Asia Cup campaign opener in Dubai on Wednesday.
Team India, the 2023 50-over Asia Cup winners, will be aiming to add another T20 Asia Cup title to their cabinet as they take on the UAE on Wednesday.
The hosts are led by globe-trotting T20 specialist Muhammed Waseem.
Ahead of the match, while UAE batters were grinding it out in the nets.
Arshdeep is India's leading wicket-taker in T20Is and has 99 wickets in 63 matches at an average of 18.30, with a best score of 4/9. One more wicket will make him the first Indian to get a century of wickets in T20Is. He could also become the fourth-fastest bowler to reach the milestone, with Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan reaching this milestone in just 53 matches. Arshdeep could also become the fastest pacer ever to complete a century of T20I wickets.
This year in three T20Is, he has taken four wickets at an average of 23.00, with best figures of 2/17.
Following this match, India will play arch-rivals Pakistan on September 14, followed by their final group stage match against Oman on September 19. The Super 4 phase of the competition will start from September 20. The final will be played on September 28, and India will be aiming to secure their second Asia Cup T20I title after 2016.
Team India squad for Asia Cup: Surya Kumar Yadav (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (WK), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh
