Arshdeep Singh has become the latest Indian cricketer to play 100 T20 Internationals, reaching the milestone against New Zealand at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Thursday, October 22. The left-arm pacer is the second Indian specialist fast bowler to reach the landmark after Jasprit Bumrah.

India have built a strong record in T20I cricket since the format's introduction, winning three men's T20 World Cup titles and producing several consistent performers. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired from T20Is in 2024, while the current generation continues to build on their achievements.

Arshdeep Singh's Challenging Outing in Christchurch

Arshdeep Singh had a difficult outing in his 100th T20I against New Zealand, finishing with figures of 1/45 in four overs at an economy rate of 11.25. His only wicket was Daryl Mitchell, who edged a slower delivery to Bhuvneshwar Kumar at fine leg.

Mayank Yadav and Axar Patel provided India with early breakthroughs. Mayank dismissed Tim Seifert for 24 after Sanju Samson took the catch behind the stumps, while Axar removed Finn Allen for 45, with Tilak Varma completing the catch.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who returned to international cricket for the first time since 2022, also endured a challenging spell. New Zealand put India's bowling attack under pressure through an aggressive middle-overs partnership between Glenn Phillips and Bevon Jacobs.
