Baljeet Kaur was reportedly performing her evening prayers when she received this call and talking about her son’s milestone, she revealed;
“Arshdeep calls me prior to every match and did so this evening as I was doing a path. He told me, ‘Mom, wadhai howe, I have been selected for the Indian team.’
“I could not hold my tears and it was when his teammates joined the call and started doing the bhangra in the team bus that I realized how big the moment it is for Arshdeep.
“He never tires and the only thing he would ask me is to massage him after his training sessions.”
His mother further said;
“It has been a tough journey for him and to see him wearing the India cap will be the biggest joy for us.”
