The batsmen dominated the third T20 match against South Africa. There was a flurry of fours and sixes from both the teams at SuperSport Park. However, amidst the pile of runs, Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh once again proved to be effective. The left-arm fast bowler took one wicket in a match when victory seemed to be away from Team India. Arshdeep wrote a memorable victory story for the Indian team by sending Heinrich Klaasen, Ryan Rickleton and Marco Johnson to the pavilion in the last over. With three wickets, Arshdeep has left Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar behind by one wicket.
Arshdeep Singh did a great job
Arshdeep Singh gave the first blow to South Africa. Arshdeep showed the way to the pavilion by clean bowling Ryan Rickleton with a brilliant ball. After this, Arshdeep, who returned for his second spell, dismissed Heinrich Klaasen, who was making a lot of noise with the bat. Clausen was out after scoring 41 runs on 22 balls. Captain Suryakumar showed confidence in Arshdeep even till the last over and Punjab batsmen completely lived up to the captain’s trust. Arshdeep tried to turn India’s win into a defeat by scoring 54 runs in 16 balls and ensured Team India’s victory by sending Marco Jensen to the pavilion.
Indian fast bowler who achieved this feat
By taking three wickets in the match, Arshdeep became the highest wicket-taker for India in T-20 International. He has left Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah behind in this matter. Arshdeep now has a total of 92 wickets in his name in T20. Bhuvneshwar has taken 90 wickets in this format, while Jasprit Bumrah has taken 89 wickets so far. Arshdeep took three wickets for 37 runs in his four over spell.
A look at Chahal’s record
Now Arshdeep will have his eyes on Yuzvendra Chahal’s big record in the fourth T20 match against South Africa. Actually, Chahal holds the record of taking most wickets for India in T-20 International. Chahal has taken a total of 96 wickets for India in this format. If Arshdeep manages to take 5 wickets in the last T20 of the series, then he will become the highest wicket taker for India in the shortest format of cricket.
