In the video posted on Arshdeep’s official Instagram, the left-arm seamer playfully assumes the role of a dance teacher, demonstrating the steps with enthusiasm and charm. Kuldeep, usually more reserved on the field, follows with equal zeal, learning the moves with a smile. This brief yet joyful interaction not only shows the duo’s cultural roots but also underscores how music and dance serve as great stress busters and team bonding activities. With Arshdeep yet to debut in Tests and Kuldeep eager to regain his place, these moments off the field may well boost their morale and chemistry, contributing positively to their performances when they take the crease or run up to bowl.

India’s quest for a historic victory at Old Trafford
Beyond the dance steps, the stakes couldn’t be higher for the Indian team. India eyes its first-ever Test win at Old Trafford, a venue where they have struggled historically, drawing five and losing four out of nine matches since 1936. The task ahead is monumental, made more challenging by unpredictable Manchester weather and England’s strong momentum after taking a 2-1 lead in the series. The previous Test at Lord’s showcased India’s resilience, where despite a strong fight led by Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah, England clinched a narrow 22-run win. However, the fourth Test represents a fresh opportunity, especially for newcomers like Arshdeep who are eager to make an impact. The combination of youthful energy and experienced campaigners will be critical if India is to level the series and claim a historic triumph at this iconic ground.
