Arshdeep Singh sets India calendar-year T20I wickets record with 38

Arshdeep Singh became India's leading wicket-taker in T20Is in a calendar year during the second T20I against New Zealand in 2026, taking his tally to 38 wickets and surpassing Bhuvneshwar Kumar's previous record of 37.

He dismissed Tim Seifert early and later claimed the crucial wicket of Glenn Phillips in the match.

Despite India's struggles during the chase, Tilak Varma's unbeaten 51 kept the visitors in contention.

Arshdeep's consistent performances further underline his importance to India's bowling attack in the shortest format.
