Arshdeep aims for world record in the third T20 against New Zealand, will create history by taking just 2 wickets

by

IND vs NZ: Indian team's star fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is very close to creating history in T20 International cricket. In the third T20 match to be played against New Zealand, Arshdeep Singh will have a golden opportunity to make the world record of taking most wickets in a calendar year. By taking just 2 wickets in this match, he will break the 4-year old historical record of Irish fast bowler Joshua Little and will become the world's number-1 bowler in this matter among the bowlers of full member countries.

Will match Joshua Little's magical record

Irish fast bowler Joshua Little created a stir in T20 International cricket with his bowling in the year 2022. That year, he took 39 wickets in his name while playing a total of 26 T20 International matches. This is the highest number of wickets taken by any bowler in a calendar year among full member countries. If Arshdeep takes even just 1 wicket in the third match against New Zealand, he will directly equal the world record of Joshua Little and break his record by taking 2 wickets.

Amazing performance of Arshdeep Singh in the year 2026

This year 2026 has been very wonderful for Arshdeep Singh. He has bowled brilliantly and taken 38 wickets in the 29 T20 International matches played so far this year. He has already become the bowler with the highest T20 International wicket taker for India in a calendar year. Now his eyes are on the world record. Arshdeep Singh will achieve this big feat as soon as he takes 2 wickets against New Zealand.

Arshdeep Singh had broken Bhuvneshwar Kumar's record

In the second T20 match against New Zealand, Arshdeep Singh had created a new record with his brilliant bowling. By taking two wickets in this match, Arshdeep has become the bowler who has taken the most T20 International wickets for India in a calendar year. By doing this, he destroyed the four year old historical record of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

In this match, Arshdeep took his first wicket in the form of Tim Seifert and equaled the record of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. After this, in the last over of the innings, he registered his second success by showing the way to the pavilion to Glenn Phillips and registered his name in the history of India's T20 cricket.

Team India will enter with the intention of capturing the series

Team India has achieved an unassailable 2-0 lead by performing brilliantly in the first two matches of this 5-match T20 series. Now this young brigade, captained by Shreyas Iyer, has its eyes set on defeating the host New Zealand team by winning the third match. On the other hand, the New Zealand team would like to make a comeback in this match by counterattacking at any cost. However, before this match, a disappointing news has come for the Indian camp. Star wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan is out of this match also due to fitness problems. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether Team India can maintain its winning streak or not.
