IND vs ENG 1st T20I: Yuzvendra Chahal's Longstanding Record Set To Be Tested In Series Opener
IND vs ENG 1st T20I: Arshdeep Singh was India's standout bowler in T20Is last year, delivering exceptional performances throughout the season.
IND vs ENG: The first match of the five-match T20 series between India and England is set to take place on January 22 at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. With premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah unavailable, veteran pacer Mohammed Shami will lead India's bowling attack, supported by the young and in-form Arshdeep Singh.
Arshdeep Singh, one of the most consistent performers for India in T20Is, has a golden opportunity to create history in IND vs ENG 1st T20I in Kolkata.
Arshdeep Singh on brink of breaking Yuzvendra Chahal's record
Yuzvendra Chahal is currently India's highest wicket-taker in T20 Internationals, with 96 wickets in 80 matches. Arshdeep Singh, who has already claimed 95 wickets in just 60 matches, is just two wickets away from surpassing this record.
If Arshdeep succeeds in doing so during IND vs ENG 1st T20I in Kolkata, he will become India's all-time leading wicket-taker in the shortest format (T20Is) of the game. Given his current form, achieving this milestone seems well within his reach.

Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, with 22 wickets, was the next best. During the T20 World Cup 2024, he was instrumental in India's championship-winning campaign, taking 17 wickets in 8 matches.
In the upcoming IND vs ENG 1st T20I, Arshdeep Singh is all set to make history and cement his position as one of India’s finest T20 bowlers.
