Team India’s left arm pacer Arshdeep created history against Oman in the Asia Cup 2025. As soon as Arshdeep took his first wicket in the Asia Cup match between India and Oman, he scored a century in T20 International. He became the first bowler of India to take 100 wickets in this format.
Amazing against Oman

Arshdeep, who made his T20 debut for Team India in 2022, achieved this special place within 3 years. This was only the 64th match of his T20 International career and he completed 100 wickets in such a low match.
Arshadeep has also done amazing to take 4 wickets in an innings 2 times in his career. After Arshdeep, in this list, India is second from leg -spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who has 96 wickets in 80 matches. At the same time, Hardik Pandya is in third place, who has 96 wickets in 114 matches. Hardik can become the second Indian bowler to reach 100 wickets due to Chahal being out of the team.
