In the Asia Cup 2025, Arshdeep Singh sets a new record, becoming the first Indian bowler to achieve a significant T20I milestone during the game against OMN.
In a historic moment for Indian cricket, Arshdeep Singh has etched his name into the record books by becoming the first Indian bowler to claim 100 wickets in T20 Internationals. This record-breaking achievement came during India's final Group A match against Oman at the Asia Cup 2025, held in Abu Dhabi.
Entering the contest with 99 wickets to his name, Arshdeep Singh needed just one more scalp to reach the three-figure mark. That wicket came in the form of Oman's Vinayak Shukla, a dismissal that not only sealed the victory for India but also marked a significant personal milestone for the young fast bowler.
Arshdeep Singh's rapid rise and effectiveness with the new ball and at the death have been a significant asset for the Indian side. His ability to deliver crucial breakthroughs under pressure has solidified his reputation as a formidable and reliable pacer.
Suryakumar Yadav, the captain of the Indian team during the Asia Cup 2025, has praised Arshdeep Singh's performance, stating, "Arshdeep has been a valuable addition to our team. His consistency and dedication are commendable, and this record is a testament to his hard work."
By reaching this milestone in a record-breaking 64 matches, Arshdeep Singh has surpassed the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal and Hardik Pandya in the list of Indian bowlers. This achievement places him at the top of an elite list of Indian bowlers and serves as a new benchmark for future Indian fast bowlers.
As he continues to hone his skills, this record will stand as a symbol of Arshdeep Singh's dedication and commitment to the sport. With his growing importance to the Indian team, fans and pundits alike are eager to see what the future holds for this promising young bowler.
India's win against Oman in the match helped them top Group A, setting them up for a potential clash with their arch-rivals Pakistan in the knockout stages of the Asia Cup 2025. With Arshdeep Singh in their ranks, the Indian team will undoubtedly be confident of their chances in the tournament.
