Former India Fast Bowler Rudra Pratap Singh feels that Punjab Kings didn't use Arshdeep Singh it properly, He feels that Arshdeep could've had a better impact in the IPL. He also feels the left-armer can share the new ball and can also share the load of bowling in the death overs alongside Champion Bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
Arshdeep managed to pick 19 scalps in 14 games but at a high economy of 10. This is largely due to the invention of the impact player which had made bowlers look like a bowling machine this season.

RP Singh who was the main protagonist in that title-winning campaign for India in 2007 preferred to keep Arshdeep Singh Ahead of Mohammad Siraj for the death overs.

RP Singh to PTI

If my analysis is correct, Arshdeep wasn't used properly by the Punjab Kings in the IPL. Former India Pacer made this statement while quoting to PTI during the Jersey unveiling program for the Legends League Tournament.
"How to use the bowler in the game depends on the captain, in which situation he uses them, where he bowls, and also whether the bowler is perfectly fit for the situation or not''


RP Singh thinks that wicket at the Nassau County academy is relatively slow, he suggested Arshdeep Singh to bowl cutters instead of bowling pacey lengths.

on talking about the conditions RP Stated" As per my understanding the wicket will be slow in the early morning game bowling on a shorter length area will be better quipped RP Singh
RP Singh believes that there will be a lot more swing for the seamers especially during the day games, He Stated " In the morning a lot more swing will be there, but the bowlers should also focus on bowling variations yorker, leg cutter, off-cutter all will come handy


RP Singh also believes that Jasprit Bumrah should ideally bowl three overs in the back-10, as it would apply significant pressure on the opposition batting unit.

Bumrah Should bowl 3 overs in the death he is our main bowler I would prefer Arshdeep to share the death bowling duties with Bumrah instead of Mohammad Siraj

Arshdeep's left angle is a challenge for the batter's right-handers mainly giving left-arm bowlers add balance to the team, with Khaleel Ahmed also there in the reserves it left the team with a good choice to choose from.

Left-arm pacers are tough to play whenever a right-handed batter is playing, its not like multiple left-arm seamers can't play in the 11. I had played with Zaheer Khan, and Ashish Nehra when we used to bowl for Team India

To achieve the perfect balance, Hardik Pandya must bowl his full quota of overs. This tactic will allow Team India to field Yuzvendra Chahal Kuldeep Yadav Ravindra Jadeja all three in the playing eleven.

Hardik bowled in the entire IPL so there is no concern of injury his bowling adds balance to the side he is important for Team India's chances. RP Singh said
RP Singh Stated 'That Shivam may not play in the starting games, but wherever he finds a spot he will bring an impact to the side
