After a blockbuster display with the ball and a cameo that took India within an inch of the victory line in the IND vs WI 1st T20, left-arm pacer is proving to be India’s biggest asset in T20Is in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. Arshdeep Singh has had a meteoric rise in the blue jersey ever since his debut on July 22, 2022. Check out how the young T20 star has fared on the international circuit after breaking through in the IPL:
Arshdeep Singh Stats in the IPL
Arshdeep Singh has already played for five seasons in the Indian Premier League at the age of 24. The left-arm pacer was bought for just 20 lakh in 2019 by the Punjab Kings (formerly Kings XI Punjab). Ever since his selection, the pacer has improved season by season.
He played just 3 matches in his first season, 8 in his next, and has played 40 matches in the last three seasons. With 17 wickets to his name, he was the leading wicket-taker for his side in IPL 2023. His breakthrough season, however, was 2021. He took 18 wickets in 12 matches and finished 7th among the highest wicket-takers of the season.
