Arshdeep Singh, Daryl Mitchell Involved In Heated Spat During T20 World Cup Final, Suryakumar Yadav Plays Mediator

The T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand has seen tempers flare at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Arshdeep Singh and Daryl Mitchell have been involved in a fiery spat and both the umpire and captain Suryakumar Yadav had to intervene to sort out the matter.

Arshdeep Singh- Daryl Mitchell Involved In Fiery Spat

The incident started with Arshdeep bowling a brilliant yorker to Mitchell. The New Zealand all-rounder defended and the ball came straight to the fast bowler. In the follow-through, Arshdeep threw the ball straight to Mitchell, who hit his body. The Kiwi appeared to be very agitated, and Arshdeep didn't even offer an apology.

Suryakumar later walked to the batter and apologised for the behaviour. Arshdeep too shook a hand with Mitchell to close the chapter.

India Played An Errorless T20 World Cup Final

Coming to the match, India have defeated New Zealand by 96 runs to successfully defend their T20 World Cup title. Men In Blue became the first team to defend their T20 World Cup crown. Batting first, the home side posted a whopping 255 runs on the board. Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan came with half-centuries while a late Shivam Dube blitz powered India to past 250.

Except for a 52 from Tim Seifert and a fighting 43 from the Kiwis captain, Mitchell Santner, the visitors didn't really put up a valiant fight. Jasprit Bumrah once again proved to be the difference maker as his brilliant spell set the bedrock in Ahmedabad. He took four wickets while Axar Patel maintained his brilliant form by picking up three wickets in the final.
