Arshdeep Singh Clarified His Heated Moment With Daryl Mitchell During a tense moment in the final match, Arshdeep Singh and Daryl Mitchell found themselves in a heated confrontation on the field. The incident occurred when Singh, bowling for India, and Mitchell, batting for New Zealand, clashed mid-pitch. The altercation began when Mitchell, in a moment of aggression, approached Singh, prompting Singh to lose his composure. In a fit of frustration, Singh attempted to throw the ball at Mitchell, but the throw missed its mark, leading to a physical tussle. Captain Sri Lanka’s Surya intervened to de-escalate the situation, preventing the conflict from escalating further. After the match, Singh addressed the incident, clarifying that his actions were not intentional. He stated, “I was going to apologize to Mitchell. I did not throw the ball at him intentionally.” Singh emphasized that his focus was on containing the opposition’s score, as the team needed to restrict the run rate to secure a win. He acknowledged the emotional intensity of the moment, noting that it would take a few days to process the experience. The incident unfolded during the 11th over of India’s innings, with Singh bowling to Mitchell, who was in the middle of a crucial run chase. Mitchell’s aggressive approach, coupled with Singh’s frustration over the lack of wickets, led to the confrontation. Singh’s throw, intended to run out Mitchell, missed, and the two players briefly exchanged words before the captain stepped in to separate them. Singh’s performance in the match was marked by his disciplined bowling, with four overs bowled at an economy rate of 8.00, yielding 32 runs. However, he failed to take a wicket, highlighting the challenges posed by Mitchell’s batting. Mitchell, on the other hand, contributed 17 runs off 11 balls at a strike rate of 154.#india #sri_lanka #arshdeep_singh #daryl_mitchell #surya
