Arshdeep Singh Approaches Landmark 150 T20I Wickets

Arshdeep Singh Eyes Historic Milestone

Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is on the verge of achieving a remarkable milestone in T20 cricket, standing just two wickets away from 150 T20I wickets. This accomplishment would make him the first Indian bowler to reach this landmark. Singh is set to play on Tuesday as India faces New Zealand in the third T20I of their five-match series at Hnry Stadium in Wellington.

Impressive Stats

With 148 wickets taken in 101 T20I matches, Arshdeep boasts an impressive average of 20.41 and an economy rate of 8.65, including a five-wicket haul. He currently leads India in T20I wickets and ranks 10th on the all-time list, needing just two more wickets to hit the 150-wicket mark. Singh has also made a strong start in the T20I series against New Zealand, securing three wickets in the first two matches.

Career Highlights and Achievements

Arshdeep is one of three Indian bowlers, alongside Jhulan Goswami and Ajit Agarkar, to start their T20I careers with a maiden over. Known for his skills in death overs, precise yorkers, and deliveries exceeding 140 km/h, he made his international debut during India's tour of England in 2022. Following his debut, he showcased his talent against the West Indies, taking seven wickets in five matches, which earned him a spot in India's squad for the 2022 Asia Cup, where he was one of the few bowlers to take more than four wickets.

Series Outlook

India aims to secure the five-match T20I series against New Zealand in the third match at Hnry Stadium in Wellington on Tuesday, holding a 2-0 lead and riding high on momentum. Despite the absence of key players like Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, India has positioned itself strongly to clinch the series after winning the first two matches against the 2026 T20 World Cup runners-up.
