Rohit Sharma Hails Arshdeep Singh as India's 'Invaluable X-Factor' for T20 World Cup 2026

Former India captain Rohit Sharma has singled out Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh as a crucial 'X-factor' for India's upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 campaign. Rohit, speaking on JioHotstar, praised the 26-year-old left-arm pacer for his dual threat, emphasizing his ability to deliver wickets both at the start and the end of an innings.

Arshdeep's maturity and skill execution have earned him high praise, especially following his stellar performance in the 2024 T20 World Cup where he was the joint leading wicket-taker. Rohit believes that Arshdeep's capacity to swing the new ball and consistently execute yorkers during the death overs makes him an invaluable asset, particularly when India plays on home soil where early breakthroughs are key to controlling the game. This endorsement highlights Arshdeep's transition into a world-class operator capable of handling immense pressure.
