Overview:
If Arshdeep made this record in his first match in the Asia Cup, then by making this record in 64 matches, he will become the fourth lowest match bowler for this record.
Delhi: Despite throwing more than 1000 balls on the nets in this year’s Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, Arshdeep Singh did not get a chance to debut Test debut. However, the disappointment is now over and Arshdeep again ready to show his power in that T20 format cricket which gave him a special identity in cricket. Surprisingly, he is number 10 in T20 ranking at this time, but the truth is that he is one of the top 3 bowlers till 3 September 2025 from his T20 International debut of 7 July 2022.
See record:
*Arshdeep took 99 wickets in 63 matches in T20 International and in this round only Rizwan Butt (Bahrain) 122 and Ehsan Khan (Hong Kong) took 106 but Rizwan played 76 and Ehsan Khan played 71 matches and that too not against the top teams. Arshadeep is better than these two in strike rate.
- Arshdeep took 172 wickets in 122 matches in T20 cricket and more than only Rashid Khan (200) and Harris Rauf (174), Rashid played 154 and Harris played 129 matches. Arshadeep is better than these two in strike rate.
The Asia Cup T20 format is giving Arshdeep a chance to show his talent and a new record which will make his profile more special.
*So far, Arshdeep has taken 99 wickets in T20 International and this means that it is close to the record of 100 wickets which is only 23 bowlers before him and he will become the first bowler to make these records from India.
- If Arshdeep made this record in his first match in the Asia Cup, then by making this record in 64 matches, he will become the fourth lowest match bowler for this record.
- He can also become the first bowler to take 50 wickets in the death over (over number 16-20) for India. Would you believe that Arshdeep’s death over wicket record in T20 International is better than Jasprit Bumrah. Arshdeep has taken 49 wickets out of 99 in death over 53 matches and Bumrah has taken 44 wickets in 58 matches in these overs.
Therefore, Arshdeep will have to bring T20 cricket in the focus again by forgetting the disappointment of not playing the test. This is also no less achievement.
