Manoj Tiwary, a former Indian cricketer, has criticized Arshdeep Singh's performance in the ongoing IPL 2026 season, noting that as the lead bowler for the Punjab Kings, he is expected to perform better. Singh, who previously excelled in the T20 World Cup, has taken only eight wickets in eight matches, averaging 41.13 with an alarming economy rate nearing 11. His recent form has been particularly concerning, with his worst outing resulting in 68 runs conceded in just four overs against the Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium. Tiwary stated that while bowlers can be hit in this format, a current Team India bowler should not concede runs at this rate. The Punjab Kings have struggled throughout the season, conceding over 195 runs in most matches, including a staggering 264 runs against the Delhi Capitals. Tiwary's comments reflect a growing concern about the team's bowling performance as they look to improve in the remaining matches.
