Chadha also said the kind of hate Arshdeep was being subjected to is appalling.
“Let us cut that young man some slack. Arshdeep is an amazing talent and will lead the Indian bowling attack in the coming years. No hate can pull him down,” said Chadha in his tweet.

Punjab Sports Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer said Arshdeep is a future of the nation.
“Victory or defeat is given in game. @arshdeepsinghh is upcoming star who carved out niche in short span. Performed excellent against Pakistan. Regressive psyche to troll him on drop of just a catch. Arshdeep is future of Nation. Inspiration for youth. Hate has no place in sports,” said Hayer in his tweet.

He spoke to Arshdeep’s mother Baljit Kaur on the phone and told her that Punjab and the whole country was with him.
Former CM Amarinder Singh said it was unfortunate that Arshdeep was being mocked over dropping the catch.
“Such things (dropping a catch) happen in sports especially under such tremendous pressure. We must support and encourage our sports heroes. Arshdeep, do not be disappointed. You have a long and glorious career ahead,” he said in a Facebook post.
BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa also slammed those who targeted Arshdeep and called him a ‘Khalistani’.
“Arshdeep Singh is a bright player. He played very well and everybody in the country stands by him,” he said in a video message.
