Arshdeep Singh has made a strong comeback for the India National Cricket Team after having a tough IPL 2026 season with the Punjab Kings (PBKS). The left-arm fast bowler struggled during the tournament and faced heavy criticism, but he is now back to his best in the ongoing ODI series against Afghanistan.
His return to form has impressed former India batter Manoj Tiwary who also pointed out 'massive lack of clarity' despite India's win over Afghanistan. He praised Arshdeep for getting his focus back on the game and delivering match-winning performances for the national team.
Arshdeep Singh had a really poor IPL 2026 season, where he managed only 14 wickets at an average of over 38 and a strike rate of over 10, and Punjab Kings failed to make it to the playoffs.
During the season, Arshdeep Singh was also involved in controversy because of his constant presence on social media, where he was often seen mocking the Indian players. This forced PBKS to reportedly order the fast bowler to reduce his online activities and focus more on his game.
However, Arshdeep looked completely different in Indian colors. The fast bowler has looked sharp and confident in the ongoing three-match ODI series against Afghanistan. He has already picked up five wickets and played his role in the Men in Blue’s series win at home.
Arshdeep Singh is a different beast for India: Manoj Tiwary
After Arshdeep finished with 3/45 in nine overs against Afghanistan in the second ODI in Lucknow, Manoj Tiwary said that the left-arm pacer looks like a completely different bowler when he plays for India. He also stressed that a player should not be judged on the poor IPL campaign.
Manoj Tiwary was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz: “IPL is just entertainment cricket, to be honest with you. The format is T20, but it is just full-on entertainment, where things are set up for batters and bowlers only get hit."
"So, you cannot compare and judge performances from there. As soon as he switches to the India jersey from the IPL, he's a different player. We have seen that in T20Is, he has better numbers of striking in the first over than Jasprit Bumrah.”

The cricket pundit also feels the pacer has regained his form and is focusing on the things that matter most. He also hailed how Arshdeep brilliantly led the young pace attack in the absence of bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. He handled the responsibility very well and worked really well with the youngsters Gurnoor Brar and Prince Yadav in the ongoing ODI series.
Tiwary noted, “His rhythm has come back now. He has stopped doing some things that he was doing in the IPL. He used to do all of that in the IPL; he has stopped now. We don't see much of him on social media. When you move away from distractions and focus on things that matter, then the consistency in performances is there. It is good to see him leading the attack and pick wickets for his country.”
After the Lucknow ODI, Arshdeep said that he is trying to enjoy every moment and give his full effort whenever he steps onto the field. His main aim is to leave nothing behind and contribute as much as possible to the team. He also lauded the positive atmosphere inside the Indian dressing room.
