Indian cricket team fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has been delivering consistently impressive performances in T20 cricket. His stellar form on the field has brought him to the verge of breaking a major record that will cement his name in the history books. If he manages to take just two more wickets in the upcoming matches, he will achieve a massive milestone in T20 International cricket that no other Indian bowler has accomplished so far. His remarkable consistency over the past year has made him a vital pillar of the bowling attack.
Arshdeep Singh Set to Challenge Joshua Little's Record
In the upcoming third T20 match against New Zealand, Arshdeep Singh can become the bowler with the most wickets in a single calendar year in T20 Internationals by taking two wickets. Securing just a single wicket will tie him with Irish fast bowler Joshua Little's record. This record is counted among full member teams. Joshua Little played a total of 26 T20I matches in the year 2022 and managed to scalp 39 wickets during that period. Meanwhile, Arshdeep has played 29 T20I matches so far this year and successfully taken 38 wickets.
Arshdeep Claimed a Major Record in the Second T20
Team India's star fast bowler Arshdeep Singh had picked up two crucial wickets in the second T20 match against New Zealand. With this feat, he claimed the record for taking the most wickets for India in a single calendar year. He surpassed Bhuvneshwar Kumar's four-year-old record. Arshdeep first dismissed New Zealand opener Tim Seifert in that match. Later, in the final over of the innings, he got rid of Glenn Phillips to secure his second success and etch his name in the record books.
Team India Eyes Series Victory Amid Ishan Kishan's Absence
Having won the first two matches of the T20 series, the Indian team currently holds a strong 2-0 lead. The Indian side will now aim to win the next match and secure an unassailable lead in the series. On the other hand, the New Zealand team will make every effort to bounce back in this match. Prior to this fixture, Team India has suffered a major blow as Ishan Kishan remains sidelined from this match as well. It remains to be seen how the Indian team performs under these circumstances and whether Arshdeep can claim the historic record.
