1st T20I: Arshdeep Singh Becomes The Highest Wicket-taker For India In Shortest Format
U19 World Cup: Left-arm fast-bowler Arshdeep Singh has become India’s highest wicket-taker in men’s T20Is, a landmark he achieved during the ongoing T20I series opener against England at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday.
Arshdeep achieved this milestone in his 61st T20I match by dismissing openers Phil Salt and Ben Duckett. While Salt was undone by a short ball from Arshdeep and leading edge was caught by Sanju Samson in the opening over, Duckett looked to flick it over midwicket, but the leading edge was caught by cover in the pacer’s second over.
With this, Arshdeep has surpassed leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal’s record of 96 wickets to become India's most successful men’s bowler in the shortest format. Arshdeep, 25, made his T20I debut against England in July 2022 and has since established himself as one of India’s most reliable fast bowlers in the format.
