Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh achieved a remarkable milestone during the fourth T20 International against New Zealand. With the dismissal of New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner, Arshdeep completed 150 wickets in T20I cricket, becoming the first Indian bowler to reach this landmark.

However, his achievement was not limited to reaching the 150-wicket mark. The left-arm pacer also created multiple world records, further strengthening his position among the leading T20I bowlers in international cricket.

Arshdeep Singh Becomes India's First Bowler With 150 T20I Wickets

Arshdeep Singh has become the first Indian bowler to take 150 wickets in T20 International cricket.

He reached the milestone by dismissing Mitchell Santner during the fourth T20I against New Zealand.

Jasprit Bumrah is the next Indian bowler on the list, with 126 T20I wickets.

Arshdeep's achievement highlights his consistency and importance to India's bowling attack, particularly in the shortest format of the game.

World Record for Most T20I Wickets in a Calendar Year

Arshdeep has also set a new world record for taking the most wickets in T20 Internationals in a single calendar year.

He has claimed 40 wickets in 2026, moving ahead of Ireland's Josh Little, who took 39 wickets in 2022.

This achievement reflects the Indian pacer's impressive consistency throughout the year and his ability to deliver wickets in different match situations.

Fastest Fast Bowler to Reach 150 T20I Wickets

Another major record belongs to Arshdeep's efficiency with the ball.

He has become the fastest fast bowler to reach 150 T20I wickets in terms of deliveries bowled, achieving the milestone in just 2,143 balls.

Bangladesh's Mustafizur Rahman previously held the record, having taken 2,532 deliveries to reach the same milestone.

Arshdeep's achievement demonstrates how effectively he has been able to take wickets without bowling an excessive number of deliveries.

Reaches 150 Wickets in Just 1,577 Days

Arshdeep has also created a remarkable record based on the time taken to reach 150 T20I wickets after making his international debut.

He achieved the milestone in just 1,577 days.

Before him, Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga held the record, taking 2,325 days to reach 150 T20I wickets.

This makes Arshdeep's journey to the milestone particularly impressive, considering the relatively short period in which he has established himself as a key member of India's T20I bowling attack.

Arshdeep Singh Continues to Strengthen India's Bowling Attack

Arshdeep's latest achievements underline his growing importance to Indian cricket.

His ability to take wickets with the new ball, deliver effective yorkers at the death and perform under pressure has made him an important part of India's T20I setup.

Reaching 150 wickets is a significant personal achievement, but breaking multiple international records on the way makes the occasion even more special.

With several milestones already behind him, Arshdeep Singh will now look to maintain his consistency and add more achievements to his international career.
