NEW DELHI: India pacer Arshdeep Singh credited his success in the Super Over against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup Super 4 clash to his ability to consistently execute wide yorkers.

Earlier in the game, Arshdeep had a tough outing as Sri Lankan batters Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera punished him for 26 runs in two overs in Dubai on Friday.

However, the left-arm quick bounced back brilliantly in the Super Over, giving away just two runs while dismissing Perera and skipper Dasun Shanaka to seal the contest for India.

"My feeling was that...we got hit in the Power Play, but everyone chipped in later and took the game to Super Over. My plan in the Super Over was clear - bowl wide yorkers, and make them (SL batters) score on the off-side," said Arshdeep in a video posted by BCCI.

The plan unfolded perfectly, with Perera and Shanaka falling to catches in the deep - Rinku Singh at point and Jitesh Sharma at backward point - as India clinched the Super Over after the match ended in a thrilling 202-run tie in regulation play.

Arshdeep has featured in only two games so far in the ongoing Asia Cup, with India relying primarily on Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya as the two pacers, given the conditions in Dubai. Yet, the youngster insists he has no reason to feel disappointed.

"I always try to keep myself mentally ready. Whenever you go to bed, you should feel that you have given your 100 percent. Whenever you are not playing you should give your 100 per cent off the field, hold the players who are playing, train well, work on your fitness."

The 26-year-old, however, had a reason to celebrate as he became the first Indian bowler to claim 100 wickets in T20 Internationals.

He reached the milestone in just 64 matches, making him the third fastest to do so, behind Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan (53 matches) and Nepal's Sandeep Lamichhane (54).

Yet, the Punjab pacer remains focused on the present, determined to keep honing his skills rather than dwelling on records.

"You just need to enjoy the present irrespective of the situation. Whenever my turn comes - contain the runs, build the pressure and take wickets. New ball, old ball, first innings or second innings, I just need to adapt to the situations.

"Fortunately, I got lot of good partners whether it's Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) bhai, Shami bhai, Bumrah bhai or Hardik bhai. We just try to keep the pressure up. I need to thank all of them," he added.
