BGT: When and Where to watch the 2nd India vs Australia test in India?

IND vs NZ: The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICC_World_Test_Championship">World Test Championship</a>?s latest cycle, which started back at the end of the WTC back in 2023, where India lost their second consecutive final against Australia, has now reached its nearing end. This time around in the WTC, only four of the top nine teams have their chances of reaching the final; still, many of the teams are eager to improve their performances in the competition. Currently, India, the two-time WTC finalist, is at the top of the points table; however, the real parameter of qualification, the PCT of India, is way ahead of its competitors. Australia are currently the most likely team to make it to the WTC final, as they would be in the quest to defend their WTC title in 2025 at Lord?s. Teams like New Zealand, the first-ever winners of the WTC, as well as Sri Lanka and South Africa, are also in the quest to make it to their debut WTC final. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/ThalaCricket/status/1844963331133624532
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Let?s take a look at how every team can qualify for the WTC final:</h2>



India: India would still have the best possible PCT in the WTC points table; even if they lose the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by a margin of 3-1 to Australia after having won the New Zealand series by 3-0, they can go ahead into the WTC final with a healthy PCT of 65.78%.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Team-India-highest-level-in-WTC.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-148581" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">India is the current table topper in the WTC (Image Credit: Crictoday)</figcaption></figure>



 Doors for any other team mostly open when Australia can have a clean sweep over Indians in the BGT, which sees a major drop in PCT while opening the gates for Sri Lanka. So India?s qualification chances are entirely dependent on at least a single win in the BGT. Australia: The defending champions are not in the most comfortable position like India is, though they are yet to feature in 7-red ball matches under home as well as overseas conditions. Their qualification chances are based on a win in the BGT with a margin of 3-1; at least if they draw the series with a 2-2 and can couple it with a 2-0 win over Sri Lanka, then they would still have chances to advance to the finals with some other results going in their favour. However, if they result in draws in the BGT as well as the draw against Sri Lanka, it would hand them a major drop in PCT, and hence the likes of the next three following teams in the list would fancy their chances in the WTC. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Pat-Cummins-and-the-defending-champions-Australia-1024x614.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-148582" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Defending Champions of the WTC (Image Credit: ESPNcricinfo)</figcaption></figure>



 Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka would first face the Proteas in the longest format of the game, and if they lose, they can end their hopes in the WTC. So only after a win against South Africa can they fancy their chances, while a draw that is backed with a whitewash over Australia can hand them some chances into the WTC final. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/SL-win-series-against-NZ-1024x681.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-148583" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Sri Lanka win the series against New Zealand to better their WTC chances (Image Credit: The Hindu)</figcaption></figure>



 South Africa: If South Africa loses even one of their remaining matches, then they would depend on other teams to make it into the WTC final. If South Africa can manage to win only 4 of the 6 games, then they can easily be considered knocked off. New Zealand: New Zealand cannot look to have any further losses in the WTC, as they can proceed only with clean sweeps in their next series that would follow. Even a draw against India can send the Blackcaps home since a whitewash against England would not be able to save them.

India Women began their campaign with a disappointing loss against the New Zealand women, who also made history with a win over India Women after years in the World Cup. However, they advanced into commanding form as they earned a great win over arch-rivals Pakistan and were followed by another dominating win over Sri Lanka women, the Asia Cup champions. The win over the Lankan women gave them the higher net run rate over New Zealand, which in turn handed them the second spot in the points table. With Lankan women out of contention for the semis having not won a single match, Pakistan women largely depend on two other teams in India and New Zealand women to return into contention. After New Zealand?s latest win over Sri Lanka, there has been immense clarity on what intent either team shares upon qualification, as both India and New Zealand are looking to increase their run rate. The Aussies are way ahead in run rate, and even if they lose their final match, they stay on top of the table and will advance to the playoffs; hence, the competition for another spot lies between India and New Zealand. However, when the tougher challenge is concerned, India will have to face 6-time defending Champions <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_women%27s_national_cricket_team">Australia women</a> in their final group stage match today, while New Zealand will face the likes of Pakistan women.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How can India or New Zealand qualify for the semi-finals?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Who-will-make-it-through-India-or-New-Zealand-women-min-1024x768.png" alt="" class="wp-image-148454" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Who among India Women or New Zealand Women will make their way into the semi-finals (Image Credit: NDTV Sports)</figcaption></figure>



Either India and New Zealand win, hence tying the points between India, Australia, and New Zealand on six points, where the Aussies would qualify owing to their high net run rate alongside the other team who would have the highest run rate. 



Both India and New Zealand lose, Australia qualifies, and hence India, New Zealand, and Pakistan tied on points would have to depend on the higher net run rate for the only spot in the semis. 



Either team from India or New Zealand loses their match while the other wins, thus helping the other team to qualify straight into the semi-finals with an easy 6 points.

For India, a win seems enough if New Zealand can?t manage the margin. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/ESPNcricinfo/status/1845245818539999287
</div></figure>



 The second scenario seems far more complex; if India bats first and Kiwis chase, India wins by 1 run, then New Zealand would have to win by 14-15 balls remaining. If India can extend their win margin to 10-20 runs, then New Zealand would have to keep a 20-32 ball margin to lead their way into the semis. India chases while New Zealand bats first; if India manages to win with no balls remaining, then New Zealand will have to secure a win by at least 20 runs. With India finishing their chase early on, tougher it gets for the Kiwis. With both teams either batting first or chasing India?s win margin by 1, 10, or 20 runs, the Kiwis need a margin of 17, 28, or 38 runs to secure their position. If India ceases their chase within an over or two remaining, the Kiwis will have to end their match before 4 to 5-overs of the game.

IND vs BAN: Indian selectors and the BCCI have clearly stated even the likes of the greatest of players, like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and the T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav, will have to feature in the domestic tournaments like the Buchi Babu or the Duleep Trophy in order to be a part of India?s squad for the Bangladesh home tour. Suryakumar Yadav, who had made his debut for the Indian team in the longest format of the game against Australia in Nagpur last year, is eager to be back into the side for some ?red-ball fun," though the journey back would be with many informed players as obstacles. Surya would face the obstacles in the form of his Mumbai teammate, Sarfaraz Khan, and experienced India batters like Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. Also,<a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/ishan-kishan-720471"> Ishan Kishan</a>, who was recently playing the Buchi Babu for Jharkhand, has acquired some amazing results alongside scoring a quick century. Surya also admitted that after having made his debut, he was ruled out due to injury, and in the meantime, many capable players were included in the Indian team who have proved their worth, performing well for India.

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
 "There are a lot of people who have worked really hard to earn their place, and even I want to earn that spot again," 
<cite>Suryakumar said on the sidelines of preparing for the Buchi Babu in Coimbatore</cite></blockquote>



Also, India has struggled in the middle-order in the longest format of the game. They have tried players like Sarfaraz and Dhruv Jurel who have been good in the middle order, yet with Rishabh Pant now back from injury and KL Rahul also intending to make a comeback even if it means as a middle-order batter, the competition is tougher, with the selectors being in a dilemma as well.

IND vs BAN: Team India, who have had great results across all formats, though their outcomes were not the finest until winning the T20 World Cup earlier this year. The India team has a schedule for the longest format of the game, as, in the next 113 days, India is set to feature in 10 test matches. India has been crowned No. 1 in tests for over a long period now, as this feat was achieved in the Shastri era, which was continued in the Rahul Dravid times. Under Virat Kohli, India entered the first-ever WTC final in 2021, as they lost against New Zealand in the finals. Next was their two-year cycle, when once again India played some stunning cricket under skipper Rohit Sharma, as he led them to a World Test Championship for the second consecutive time in 2023, when they lost against the Australian side led by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Cummins">Pat Cummins</a>. This time around as well, Dravid splurged with immense test cricket success until Gambhir took over. India will play their first-ever test series under their new coach, Gautam Gambhir, who has given preference to his idealism and hence made changes to the squad.

With the conclusion of India?s final test of the Australia tour, after the boxing day test, India will conclude their WTC cycle, with only awaiting the finals if the table toppers can make their way into Lord?s.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="indias-supposed-squad-with-some-likely-new-faces">India?s Supposed Squad with some likely new faces</h2>



India has recently instructed their players to make a move, and the BCCI also issued a strict notice to the players of the national side for participation in domestic leagues in order to prepare themselves for the upcoming international saga. Likely Yashasvi Jaiswal, the left-handed young batter from Mumbai, has been a part of the Indian team for this WTC cycle, and he has been the supreme batter despite the presence of the most veteran cricketers. Hence, undoubtedly Jaiswal will continue to feature alongside skipper Rohit Sharma in the longest format of the game for India. 



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Rohit-and-Jaiswal-in-Tests.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-145513" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit and Jaiswal in Tests (Image: Rediff.com)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



 These two openers are placed among the top 10 ranks of the ICC Test Rankings, and the veteran Virat Kohli is also placed 10th. Kohli will be placed in the team as well. Now comes the players, over whose selection there remain some questions to be answered. Cheteshwar Pujara was replaced by a young Indian batter, Shubman Gill, at no. 3. However, Gill has been out of touch for a long time now, and players like Mumbai skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, youngsters Sarfaraz Khan, and also Tilak Verma have shown promising domestic seasons to replace him from the side.

Rishabh Pant has made a comeback and will likely be the first-choice wicketkeeper in Team India?s Test squad.

</figure>



 While players like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and also the likes of young wk-batter Dhruv Jurel will also be trying to compete for the middle-order spots of Team India. India seems to have settled down with the likes of Ravindra Jadeja at no. 7, as he has been the greatest among all-rounders in the format. At the same time, Axar Patel can once again feature as India?s finest all-format all-rounder, as his batting abilities are on par with his bowling geniuses. Gambhir has indicated that he is not likely to further include the likes of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravichandran_Ashwin">Ravi Ashwin</a>, despite the 38-year-old being India?s highest wicket-taker in test cricket. But Gambhir indicated even the greatest have to depart someday, and hence he sanctioned Kuldeep and Washington Sundar to prepare for the Duleep Trophy.

 While India?s likely pace bench would feature players like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, and also Md. Siraj. What remains is doubt over players like Shardul Thakur or Umesh Yadav, who are no more likely to be in the format, with some other fine picks that might replace them in the near future.

The ICC Team Rankings is a rating system used to rank national cricket teams in Test, One-Day International (ODI), and Twenty20 International (T20I) formats. Developed by David Kendix, the system provides a quantitative measure of a team's performance over time.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How It Works:</h3>



Points System:



Teams earn points for each match they play. The number of points awarded depends on the result of the match (win, loss, draw, tie) and the strength of the opposition.



Series Consideration:



In Tests and ODIs, points are often awarded for both individual match results and the overall series result.



Calculating the Rating:



The rating for each team is calculated by dividing the total points earned by the number of matches played, yielding a rating score. This score is rounded to the nearest whole number.



The formula is similar to a batting average, where the total points are analogous to total runs scored, and the total matches are analogous to the number of times dismissed.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Example of Calculating Ratings:</h3>



Let's consider a simplified example to illustrate the process.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Test Rankings Example:</h4>



<ol>
<li>Australia's Performance:
<ul>
<li>Assume Australia plays 10 matches over a period and earns 1240 points.</li>



<li>Rating = Total Points / Matches Played = 1240 / 10 = 124.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li>India's Performance:
<ul>
<li>Assume India plays 12 matches over the same period and earns 1440 points.</li>



<li>Rating = Total Points / Matches Played = 1440 / 12 = 120.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>



Based on these calculations, Australia would have a rating of 124, and India would have a rating of 120.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Current Example Rankings (Men's Teams):</h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Test Team Rankings:</h4>



<ol>
<li>Australia - 124 points</li>



<li>India - 120 points</li>



<li>England - 105 points</li>



<li>South Africa - 103 points</li>



<li>New Zealand - 96 points</li>
</ol>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">ODI Team Rankings:</h4>



<ol>
<li>India - 122 points</li>



<li>Australia - 116 points</li>



<li>South Africa - 112 points</li>



<li>Pakistan - 106 points</li>



<li>New Zealand - 101 points</li>
</ol>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">T20 Team Rankings:</h4>



<ol>
<li>India - 266 points</li>



<li>Australia - 256 points</li>



<li>England - 253 points</li>



<li>West Indies - 252 points</li>



<li>South Africa - 251 points</li>
</ol>

IND vs ENG 3rd T20I: After the Chennai setback, a much better performance by England tonight kept them alive in the five-match T20I series. England won the third T20I by 26 runs. The scoreline now stands 2-1 in favor of India with a couple of T20Is remaining. 
India were in a strong position after the first innings, with a brilliant bowling performance putting them on top. However, England executed their plans well in the second innings and managed to defend the total comfortably in the end, tightening their grip as the match progressed. Despite India’s early promise, the pressure mounted, and the top order’s failure ultimately proved costly, leaving them with too much to do. 
<h2>IND vs ENG 3rd T20I Match Summary</h2>
For the third time in a row, India won the toss and chose to field first. Captain Surya seemed pleased with the decision, inviting England to set a target. India made a notable change to their lineup, giving Arshdeep Singh a well-deserved rest and marking the much-anticipated return of Mohammed Shami to international cricket after a gap of approximately 15 months. On the other hand, England decided to stick with their tried-and-tested playing XI, showing confidence in their unchanged squad.
INDIA Playing11: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Dhruv Jurel, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy
ENGLAND Playing11: Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith(w), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
<h2>ENGLAND's Innings- 171/9 (20)</h2>
England's innings got off to a rocky start as Philip Salt fell early in the second over, caught by Abhishek Sharma off Hardik Pandya's bowling for just 5 runs. However, Ben Duckett and Jos Buttler steadied the innings, forming a vital partnership. Duckett was the aggressor, smashing 51 off 28 balls with 7 fours and 2 sixes, while Buttler contributed 24 off 22 balls. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b286b99.jpg" alt="">
But India struck back quickly in the 9th over when Varun Chakravarthy dismissed Buttler with a brilliant delivery, and just one over later, Axar Patel removed Duckett to put England under pressure at the halfway mark. Another impressive bowling performance by India saw them restrict England to an ordinary total on a really good batting surface. 
Post the drinks break, Harry Brook's struggle against Indian conditions continued as Ravi Bishnoi bowled him for 8. Jamie Smith tried to counter-attack but fell to Varun Chakravarthy after 6 off 4 balls. Varun was unstoppable, claiming Jamie Overton for a golden duck on the very next delivery, and later dismissing Brydon Carse and Jofra Archer, completing a sensational five-wicket haul.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b59f608.jpg" alt="">
Liam Livingstone fought valiantly with a blazing 43 off 24 balls, smashing 5 sixes, but Hardik Pandya removed him in the 18th over. England's lower order couldn't offer much resistance, with Adil Rashid (10*) and Mark Wood (10*) managing to push the total to 171/9 in 20 overs. But was it enough to salvage the game?

</div>
<h2>India's Innings- 145/9 (20)</h2>
On a pitch tailor-made for batting, the target looked well within reach for India's deep and dynamic lineup. Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma opened the chase, with Abhishek wasting no time making a statement. Facing Mark Wood’s thunderbolts clocking 145+ kmph, Abhishek unleashed a flurry of authoritative strokes in the second over, shifting the momentum firmly in India’s favor from the get-go.
However, Samson’s struggles against short-pitched deliveries continued, as he fell early to England’s fiery pace attack—his vulnerability to sharp bouncers now becoming an open secret. Abhishek kept the pressure on, racing to 24 off 14 before losing his wicket just as he seemed set for a big score. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav looked in sublime touch but fell victim to Mark Wood’s raw pace, leaving India three down at 51 by the end of the powerplay. The chase was off to a rollercoaster start, with plenty of drama already packed into the opening six overs.
The pressure mounted as the last-match hero, Tilak Varma, walked in but couldn’t replicate his heroics. He fell to a sharp, spinning beauty from Adil Rashid, undone by the turn and guile of the experienced leggie. By the halfway mark, India were wobbling at 78/4, with the chase suddenly looking far more challenging than it did at the start.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679905930e388.jpg" alt="">
The chase was far from over, but with 94 runs still required off 60 balls, India needed something special. Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar were tasked with bringing the game back on track. While Hardik remained calm, Sundar struggled to find his rhythm. He consumed valuable deliveries but couldn’t get the scoreboard ticking, eventually falling for just 6 off 15 balls, adding to India’s mounting pressure.
Axar Patel came in next, playing a quiet supporting role, but with India needing more than just steady contributions, the situation grew dire. With 72 runs still required off the final five overs, it was clear that only an explosive finish could keep India in the hunt. Hardik pushed the limits but only to reduce the defeat margins. The asking rate was growing and he didn't have any choice but the go aerial every ball and lost his wicket in the process.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67990b84a34e9.jpg" alt="">
India lost the match by 26 runs despite a brilliant bowling performance. The batting let them down and especially the efforts from the top order were questionable. Nevertheless, the series is still alive with a scoreline of 2-1 and the teams will now head to PUNE for the fourth T20I of the series.

India fell short by 26 runs despite a brilliant bowling performance. The top order's failure proved costly, leaving them chasing a challenging target. The series remains alive with a 2-1 scoreline.

India's bowlers excelled, but the batting faltered as they fell 26 runs short. The series continues with England leading 2-1.

"England's Comeback" Varun's Fifer in Vain as England Clinches Rajkot T20I

Jasprit Bumrah has been at the peak of his ability, and he has achieved unbelievable success since he made his comeback from the injury. Especially, his performance across all three formats in 2024 has helped him bag a major ICC award.
On Tuesday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed Indian ace pacer to be the winner of the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year at the ICC Awards 2024. This has marked another successful chapter in Bumrah's glorious career. He has been the best all-format bowler to play cricket in modern cricket. He played a major role in India winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
Bumrah finished 2024 with the most wickets across formats. He took 86 wickets in 21 matches across formats. With that, he also won the Player of the Tournament award in the T20 World Cup 2024, with 15 wickets at an incredible economy rate of 4.17. In Test cricket, Bumrah finished with 32 wickets in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 at an average of 14.92 and a strike rate of 30.1.
The pacer also achieved the highest rating points in Test for an Indian, surpassing Ravichandran Ashwin's tally. Adding to that, he also won the ICC Test Player of the Year award and became only the third bowler to win these two ICC awards in the same year, after Mitchell Johnson and Ravichandran Ashwin.
<h2>List of Indians to win Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year</h2>
Travis Head, Joe Root, and Harry Brook were the other three nominated players for the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy. But Bumrah's excellence in all three formats landed him this major ICC award. With this, he became only the fifth Indian player to win the ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year award.
Rahul Dravid was the first Indian to win this prestigious award, who won it in 2004. The second Indian to achieve this glory was Sachin Tendulkar in 2010. Ravichandran Ashwin was the first Indian bowler to win this award in 2016. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli bagged this award for two consecutive years in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Now, in 2024, Bumrah became the first Indian pacer to win the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year.
It won't be a wrong statement to say that Jasprit Bumrah is currently the most impactful performer across formats. Since his return from injury, he has won Player of the Series in South Africa and the Australia test series. He also became the first bowler to achieve no. 1 ranking in all three formats.

Adding to that, Australia have also rested a couple of their key players, including captain Pat Cummins. Steve Smith will have the onus to lead the visitors. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are very strong opponent in their own conditions, and they will look to prove their home dominance. It will be a cracking game between two good teams.

The Pakistan Cricket Team has kept many waiting ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because the Mohammad Rizwan-led side has yet to name the squad for the tournament, while the rest of the teams have already announced the team for the event. 
Amid all the fuss, a report in Pakistan media has revealed that the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Mohammad Rizwan will be captaining the team, while Fakhar Zaman, who was nowhere near the scenes, also has been included in the team for the event. 
As per the reports, there is no place for Saim Ayub due to the injury he sustained during the Test series against South Africa. The batting department will be boosted by Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Tayyab Tahir, Kamran Ghulam and Saud Shakeel. 
Salman Agha, along with Aamer Jamal, are the two all-rounders that Pakistan reportedly has picked for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Youngsters in Khushdil Shah and Usman Khan also have made the cut into the team for the eight-nation tournament. 
The fast bowling department comprises Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf. However, there is expected to be a tussle between the fourth pacer in Abbas Afridi and Hasnain Khan. The official confirmation will be soon made by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). 
<h2>Pakistan squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 </h2>

We are just hours away from the start of the highly anticipated clash between India and England. These two teams will take on each other in the third T20I of the series at 7 PM on Tuesday, which is slated to take place at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.
Team India are leading the series 2-0, and they will be eyeing making it three out of three. England need a strong performance which can help them to bounce back in the series. Both matches have been dominated by the Indian spinners, as Varun Chakravarthy and Co. have not let the English batters get away with anything.
The English pacers have also done well in both matches and troubled the Indian batters. But not much talk has been regarding India's opening bowler, Arshdeep Singh. The left-arm pacer has been in the form of his life and has given India early breakthroughs in both games in his first over. He is just a couple of wickets away from making history.
<h2>Arshdeep Singh needs two wickets to surpass Haris Rauf and achieve a World Record</h2>
Arshdeep Singh has been India's premier bowler in T20I cricket and took the most wickets in the T20 World Cup 2024. For his consistent performances in 2024, the left-arm pacer recently won the "ICC T20I Player of the Year" award as well. He is now on the verge of achieving another remarkable feat. Since making his T20I debut in 2022, Arshdeep has been performing for India in different conditions.
He has played 62 T20Is and taken 98 wickets at a strike rate of 13.1 with a best of 4/9. He is currently the leading wicket-taker for India in this format. Arshdeep has taken three wickets in the first two games and needs two more wickets to become the first Indian pacer with 100 T20I wickets.
Not just this; if he takes two wickets in the coming game on Tuesday, he will also become the fastest pacer to take 100 wickets in T20 internationals. Currently, Pakistan's Haris Rauf holds this record, having completed 100 wickets in 71 T20Is. Arshdeep has 8 more games to break that record, which looks very possible.
