Pacer Arshdeep Singh overtook former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) spinner Yuzvendra Chahal to become India's leading wicket-taker in T20 internationals.

Arshdeep Singh has been among the best bowlers in T20Is of late. The left-arm speedster Arshdeep has now etched his name into the history books with his twin strikes in the first T20I against England at Eden Gardens,

India pacer Arshdeep Singh became the highest wicket taker for India in the T20Is, surpassing Yuzvendra Chahal. Arshdeep, who now has 97 T20I wickets, reached the milestone during the IND vs ENG 1st T20I in Kolkata on Wednesday (Jan 22).

Arshdeep Singh needs a few more wickets to surpass Pakistan's Haris Rauf to become the quickest pacer to 100 T20I wickets.
