Punjab’s Sports Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer on Monday came in the support of pace bowler Arshdeep Singh, who is being trolled for inadvertently dropping a catch during the Asia Cup match between India and Pakistan in the UAE.
Hayer said that Arshdeep is a player full of potential and much is expected of him in the near future. He is an inspiration for hundreds of youth.
The Minister also spoke with the cricketer’s mother Baljit Kaur, who is in Dubai, on the phone and assured her that the entire country stands firmly behind Arshdeep.
He also said on returning to the country, he would personally welcome the cricketer.
The minister also tweeted in support of the player, “Victory or defeat is given in-game. @arshdeepsinghh is an upcoming star who carved out a niche in a short span. Performed excellently against Pakistan. Regressive psyche to troll him on the drop of just a catch. Arshdeep is the future of the nation. Inspiration for youth. Hate has no place in sports.”
