"I don’t know why I didn’t shed a tear"- Arshdeep Singh on his emotions after winning 2024 T20 World Cup

While speaking to Indian Express, Arshdeep Singh recently opened up about his emotions during the celebrations on the ground in Barbados after winning the World Cup. Singh revealed that he was very happy but did not shed a tear like most of his teammates, who became emotional. He said:

"I was very happy. In the IPL, I have played so many nerve-wracking matches for Punjab Kings that I don’t have any emotions left. Mai koshish kar raha tha but yaar aansu nikle nahi (I tried hard but just was not able to cry).

"I watched the legends of the game… Rohit bhai, Virat bhai, who have achieved so much… they just couldn’t control their emotions. I was happy for them. But I don’t know why I didn’t shed a tear."

On head coach Rahul Dravid and his celebrations after the World Cup victory, Arshdeep added:

"Rahul sir has always been like ice. He keeps writing something in his diary. He keeps a straight face in the tense situations as well. But what I saw after the final… it was like watching a different Rahul Dravid. The way he was screaming with the trophy. I was in disbelief."

Arshdeep Singh picked up 17 wickets across eight games. He ended up as joint highest wicket-taker in the tournament along with Afghanistan pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi.
