Arshdeep Singh could be forgiven for chuckling at the vicissitudes of sport, at the fickleness of fans, at the yo-yoing scales of public following so early in his career. 

A month and a half back, he was the subject of vile abuse, even being branded anti-national, all because he dropped a catch at the Asia Cup. Now, he is the toast of a nation, or, at least he should be, once it looks beyond Virat Kohli’s masterpiece, for his stirring role in the four-wicket conquest of the same opposition at the T20 World Cup.
