He has already surpassed legendary bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah (89 wickets and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (90 wickets). Speaking to Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik praised Arshdeep Singh and said he’s got great skills and the way he set up a couple of South African batters in the 4th T20I is amazing.
“The way he set up a couple of the (South African) batters tells you the skill levels the man’s got. One of the stats that it did put up during the game was how quickly he is on the verge of becoming the highest wicket-taker. Even a Bumrah is there on that list who has played 10 matches more, and he’s still below Arshdeep. Tells you how good Arshdeep has been in the short while that he’s played for India. The kind of bowler he is in this format, extremely efficient and exceptional at what he does” Karthik said.
Arshdeep released by Punjab Kings ahead of mega auction
Punjab Kings (PBKS) released Arshdeep Singh ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. He took 76 wickets in 65 matches for the franchise and is expected to attract a lot of bids. His ability to swing the ball early and deliver perfect Yorkers in the death over makes him a valuable player for any franchise.
He also played a crucial role in India’s success at the 2024 T20 World Cup. Arshdeep took 17 wickets and finished the tournament as the joint-highest wicket-taker along with Afghanistan’s Fazalhaq Farooqi.
