Punjab Kings bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule credited Arshdeep Singh’s return to form to a back-to-basics approach after a match-winning spell. He also praised Shreyas Iyer’s leadership and composure under pressure, highlighting his influence on the team’s performance in IPL 2026.

Mumbai, April 17: Punjab Kings bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule has credited Arshdeep Singh’s resurgence to a "back-to-basics" approach following the pacer’s match-winning spell. After a difficult run in recent games, Singh delivered a clinical opening spell and restricted the opposition in the death overs.

“Arshdeep has been a fabulous bowler for India and the franchise. T20 is a tough competition where expectations are high and conditions change rapidly,” Bahutule said.

He explained that Singh had struggled with the demand for variations on certain pitches, occasionally losing sight of his stock ball. To rectify this, the pacer spent the last few days engaged in spot bowling and target practice.

“He was very clear in his mindset this game, focusing on line and length with the new ball and executing perfectly with the semi-new ball,” Bahutule added.
