The expectations from him were pretty high. People expected?Arshdeep Singh would dig a hole and dive deep to catch the ball. However, he missed the crucial catch and all hell broke loose.?
Since India's defeat to Pakistan on Sunday,?Arshdeep Singh - who defended six runs in the last over - became a target of trolls. After India lost the match, he was blamed on the internet for the defeat.?
How did Arshdeep Singh react to trolling? He is laughing reading the jokes on him.?
His father Darshan revealed to The Indian Express, "Spoke to Arshdeep before boarding. His exact words were, ¡®I am laughing at all these tweets and messages. I am only going to take positives from it. This incident has only given me more confidence."
Meanwhile, Bollywood stars like Ayushmann Khurrana, Swara Bhasker and Gul Panag among others have come out in support of him. They are all urging people to stop trolling him.?
Taking to Instagram, Ayushmann Khurrana wrote, "It¡¯s been almost 24 hours but can¡¯t get over last night¡¯s nerves. There¡¯s always a heartbreak when India loses a match. But let¡¯s look at the silver lining. Kohli is in form now! SKY is looking good. Also our openers ? Let¡¯s not be fickle and fair weather. We should support our team even when they lose a close one. And for God¡¯s sake, stop trolling Arshdeep. He¡¯s a great prospect. Expecting fireworks in the rest of the tournament. Praying for the next clash".?
Angad Bedi wrote on Instagram Stories, "Keep your chin up, Singh! You are deserving that¡¯s why you are there in the team. There is a reason why cricket is compared with life. The biggest of players have gone through this, this lesson just happens to come early in your life for you. Keep your head down and your self-esteem high. We as a country will applaud your laurels in the coming games. One has to go through the grind to be a hero! Waheguru chadh di kala vich rakhe. @_arshdeep.singh__ let COURAGE be your middle name!!!"

Society cannot cannibalise success and conveniently discard failures of the ones that dare to go out into the world,compete/perform & take great risks ?"
Writer Varun Grover said, "It is repeatedly said that if you are not a part of the majority, every mistake you make will be criminalised, it could be labeled as treason as well. Minority is not allowed to make human errors. They should always remain perfect. Majority will take care of imperfections".
