Captain Arshdeep Urges Team to Stick to Game Plan Against Amritsar Surmaas

Ahead of the final league fixture, Ludhiana Lions captain Arshdeep Singh told reporters that the squad’s sole objective is to implement their strategies on the field and secure a victory over Amritsar Surmaas. The Lions sit third in the points table, but the captain stressed that the numbers are secondary to the performance on the day.

“The plan is simple – walk out, execute, and fight for a playoff spot,” Arshdeep said. “If we iron out the small issues that have hampered us, we can definitely finish in the top four.”

The Lions entered the tournament with a three‑match losing run but turned the tide by defeating Fazilka Falcons, thanks to Salil Arora’s blistering 78 off 38 balls and steady knocks from Bikramjit Singh and Arjun Rajpoot. Their balanced attack and disciplined bowling, led by Kartik Chadha, who tops the wicket‑taking charts, give them confidence.

Arshdeep also highlighted the contributions of both seasoned campaigners and newcomers. He praised the under‑19 star Arjun Rajpoot for his recent 82‑run innings and praised Kartik Chadha’s “superstar” bowling style, confident that the young bowlers will seize every opportunity.

The match on Friday at IS Bindra Stadium will be a must‑win for Ludhiana Lions to stay in the playoff chase.
