Arshdeep Singh Retires Hurt After Injury from Shamar Joseph's Bouncer in T20I
During the fourth T20I between India and West Indies, Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh was struck by a bouncer from West Indies' Shamar Joseph, causing an injury scare. Despite initial treatment and attempts to continue, Arshdeep was advised by India captain Shreyas Iyer to retire hurt, ending India's innings. Former cricketer Shreevats Goswami criticized Joseph's repeated short-pitched deliveries at Arshdeep in the final over, calling it unsportsmanlike given India's slim chance of winning. An update on Arshdeep's condition is awaited.
