Arshdeep Singh, on his Instagram, announced that he will be arriving at Chandigarh Airport Road at 6:30 PM IST on July 6 to celebrate India’s T20 World Cup 2024 triumph with his family and fans.

The left-arm speedster played a pivotal role in India’s victorious campaign last month in the 20-team T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. He finished as the joint-highest wicket-taker at the marquee event, scalping 17 wickets from eight games at an average of 12.65 and a strike rate of 10.59. In the summit clash against South Africa, Arshdeep bagged the crucial wickets of Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram, as the Men in Blue won by just seven runs at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.
