Picture this: the death overs, scoreboard pressure mounting, and Arshdeep Singh steaming in with a yorker that kisses the blockhole. India’s premier left-arm quick has turned these moments into his personal domain, becoming the first from his country to bag 100 T20I wickets. At just 25, he’s already a legend in the making.
Born in Guna in 1999, Arshdeep’s tryst with cricket began early in Chandigarh. Training rigorously from age 13, he overcame lean patches and familial doubts—nearly packing bags for Canada—before U-19 glory in 2018 sealed his path. IPL entry with Punjab Kings was modest, but 2021’s eight wickets in eight games showcased his death-over mastery.
International bow: 2/18 on England debut, another two-fer next up. ODIs saw him explode with 5/37 against South Africa. Stats don’t lie: 118 T20I wickets (avg 19.05), 97 IPL hauls, 25 ODI strikes. Swing, pace, angle—Arshdeep blends it all. As T20 cricket evolves, he’s the specialist India needs, proving pace can trump power hitting every time.
