Why did Arshdeep Singh get the last over?

If we talk about Arshdeep’s international T20 cricket career, then he has played only 14 matches so far. This is his first World Cup. Before the T20 World Cup, this was the biggest question in front of Team India – who will bowl in the death overs after all. Team India had suffered the brunt of the lack of bowlers in the death overs in the Asia Cup and now the risk could not be taken on a big stage like the World Cup. This question was raised after Jasprit Bumrah was out of the World Cup due to injury.
