The first T-20 match between India and England is being played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The command of the Indian team is being handled by the strong batsman Suryakumar Yadav. In the first T20, Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and decided to bowl. Young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh proved the captain's decision absolutely right. He put a wicket in India's bag on the very third ball of England's innings. Arshdeep dismissed Phil Salt with one of his brilliant balls and sent him to the pavilion without opening the account.

Salt made a mistake on Arshdeep's ball

Ben Duckett and Phil Salt started the innings for England. Arshdeep Singh started bowling for India. After hitting the first two balls, Arshdeep hit Phil Salt for all four on the third ball. Arshdeep bowled a brilliant ball on the leg stump. But due to extra bounce, Salt could not understand it and he tried to play it in a hurry but he had to suffer the consequences for it. Salt was caught by wicketkeeper Sanju Samson in front of Arshdeep's excellent ball. He did not score a single run in three balls.

Arshdeep sent both the openers to the pavilion

In the first T20 match, Arshdeep showed the way to the pavilion to both the openers. After dismissing Phil Salt, the Indian fast bowler also dismissed England's second opener Ben Duckett cheaply. Arshdeep took another wicket in his second over. Arshdeep's innings ended by being caught by Rinku Singh on the fifth ball of the second over. Duckett scored only four runs in four balls.

Arshdeep became the bowler who took the most wickets in powerplay.

Arshdeep Singh has now become the bowler taking the most wickets (97) in T-20 for India. He broke the record of Yuzvendra Chahal (95). With this, Arshdeep Singh has also become the bowler taking the most wickets between one and six overs in T-20 International. This young bowler has taken 18 wickets in the powerplay, which is more than other bowlers.
