Arshdeep Singh Unwanted Record: Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh made an embarrassing record in the second T20 being played against New Zealand in Raipur. In the match, Team India won the toss and decided to bowl. The responsibility of the first over of the innings was handed over to Arshdeep, who after getting the first ball dot, gave away 18 runs in the remaining five balls.

Devon Conway, who opened for New Zealand, took Arshdeep to task. However, it is worth noting that before this over, Arshdeep had troubled Conway a lot with his bowling. But this time, Conway lashed out at Arshdeep. After dotting the first ball, Conway hit 2 fours on the next two balls. After this the fourth ball of the over was dotted. Then on the fifth and sixth balls Conway hit a six and a four respectively.
