'That's for my girlfriend' – Arshdeep Singh reveals special celebration during Auckland ODI

Arshdeep Singh delivered a standout performance in India’s opening ODI against New Zealand at Eden Park, securing four wickets in his first spell to help his team dominate the match. The left-arm pacer’s second wicket of the day came when Henry Nicholls was dismissed cheaply after a back-of-a-length delivery in the ninth over, setting the tone for India’s early control.

Singh’s figures of 10-0-70-4 marked his second four-wicket haul in ODIs for India, reinforcing his growing impact in limited-overs cricket. Beyond his bowling, Singh shared a heartfelt moment with his girlfriend, Samreen Kaur, during his celebratory dance after the wicket.

The routine, a shared gesture between the two, became a personal highlight as he explained it was meant to uplift her spirit during a low moment. Singh also praised the pitch conditions, noting the bounce and wind aided his bowling, as India secured a commanding victory without the services of Mohammed Siraj.
