Indian left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh has shared a unique perspective on whom he idolizes as a professional cricketer. Arshdeep, unlike many athletes who draw inspiration from fellow sports stars, finds motivation in everyday individuals who achieve success in their daily lives.

Arshdeep, who was unstoppable in India's recent tournament success, has now secured a spot in the ODI squad for the Sri Lanka series. Ahead of the series, he revealed that he seeks inspiration from various walks of life, whether it's daily wage earners, top-performing students, or dedicated professors. His approach is to learn from anyone who is successful in their respective fields.

“As a player, I look for inspiration in everyone, be it a daily wager, a student topping his classes, or a professor. I try getting inspired by the ones doing well in their lives. The message to the youth is that they keep continuing to give their best, controlling what they can. Keep working hard. You will get the fruits of your hard work,” Arshdeep told reporters after being felicitated by Chandigarh University.

In a recent interview with The Indian Express, Arshdeep also discussed his aspiration to play Test cricket for India and his conversations with Jasprit Bumrah on improving his bowling skills.

"As a player, you want to give your 100 per cent no matter what format. This is my thinking too. I would give my best if given a chance," Arshdeep stated.

Arshdeep’s impressive performance in the 2024 T20 World Cup saw him emerge as the highest wicket-taker, claiming 17 wickets at an economy rate of just 7.16. His ability to deliver under pressure has made him a key player in India's bowling lineup.
