In cricket, whether it is a matter of power, wealth or talent, the name of India and Indian cricket comes at the top. But, despite being strong in every aspect, Team India has not been able to achieve that feat till date, in which even teams like Uganda and Oman are ahead of it. Arch-rival Pakistan is number one in that list along with New Zealand. The Australian team has also got the third position. Actually, here we are talking about those cricket playing countries, whose players have taken 100 or more wickets in T20 International.
So far, players from 13 teams have taken 100 or more wickets in T20 International. But, India's name is not in that list. You will be surprised to know that till now not a single player of Team India has taken 100 or more wickets in T20 International. Whereas this is not the case with countries like Uganda and Oman which have less experience of playing T20 International than India. He is ahead of Team India in this matter.
The maximum number of 3-3 players who have taken 100 or more wickets in T20 International are from Pakistan and New Zealand. The third player of Pakistan was Shaheen Shah Afridi, who took his 100th wicket in the first T20 against South Africa played in Durban.
Bangladesh, England and Sri Lanka are jointly second in the list with 2 players each. Whereas 8 countries including Australia, namely Kenya, Afghanistan, Ireland, Oman, Nepal, Hong Kong and Uganda, all have 1 bowler each who have taken 100 or more wickets in T20 International.
The record of 96 T20I wickets for Team India is in the name of Yuzvendra Chahal. Arshdeep Singh is at second place with 95 T20I wickets. Jasprit Bumrah also has 89 wickets. It is clear that even though at present no bowler of Team India is included in the list of players who have taken 100 or more T20 International wickets, but in the coming time, some Indian names can be added to that list.
