Arshdeep Singh made an immediate impact after his comeback to the playing XI in the third T20I between India and Australia in Hobart on Sunday, November 2. The left-arm pacer dismissed swashbuckling opener Travis Head in his first over. The Aussie batter walked back for just six runs after facing four deliveries.

The dismissal came off the fourth delivery of Australia’s innings. Arshdeep bowled a length ball outside off, and Head got forward to loft it over the infield. The ball kept shaping away after pitching, and the batsman mistimed the shot up in the sky. Suryakumar Yadav settled underneath the ball at mid-off, and it was a well-judged catch in the end. As per Cricbuzz, this was the third instance when Arshdeep dismissed Head in the T20 format.
