Arshdeep becomes the highest wicket-taker for India in T20Is

In a remarkable achievement, left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh has become India’s highest wicket-taker in T20 Internationals, surpassing Yuzvendra Chahal’s tally of 96 wickets. Arshdeep reached this milestone during the opening game against England, claiming his 97th wicket in just his 61st match, a feat accomplished 19 games fewer than Chahal’s 80 appearances.

Arshdeep made his T20I debut in July 2022 against England in Southampton, where he impressed by taking two wickets and delivering a maiden over. Since then, he has been a consistent performer for the Indian team. Notably, during the 2022 T20 World Cup, he emerged as India’s leading wicket-taker, highlighting his prowess on the international stage.

His rapid ascent in T20I cricket is further exemplified by his performance in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, where he was the joint-highest wicket-taker, claiming 17 wickets alongside Afghanistan’s Fazalhaq Farooqi. This achievement underscores his significant contribution to India’s bowling attack in the shortest format of the game.

Arshdeep’s journey from his debut to becoming India’s leading wicket-taker in T20Is in such a short span is a testament to his skill, dedication, and impact on the field. As he continues to evolve as a cricketer, his performances are poised to play a crucial role in India’s future successes in T20 cricket.
