Will the captain bounce back today? All eyes are on him! 🤞
India are aiming to secure an early 3-0 victory over England in their ongoing five-match T20I series, having won the first two matches in Kolkata and Chennai.
Jan 28, 2025, 11:22 AM
Will Mohammed Shami play or not?
India's new batting coach Shitanshu Kotak said before the third T20I that there is no concern about the fitness of fast bowler Mohammed Shami.
But the decision on his playing will be taken by captain Suryakumar Yadav and head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Shami was not selected in the playing eleven for the first two T20I matches against England.
T20 cricket is one of the toughest formats to bowl for any bowler. With high-quality bats, shorter grounds, flatter pitches it has been a tough place for bowlers around the globe. However, some bowlers have found it easy to take wickets as the batsmen are willing to take more risks. Arshdeep Singh has emerged as one of the best in T20Is within two years of his debut. He is now the bowler with most T20I wickets for India.
Top 4: Most wickets in T20I for India
#1 Arshdeep Singh: 97* T20 International Wickets
Since his debut in 2022, Arshdeep Singh has made himself as one of the best white ball bowlers. The left-arm pacer is now the highest wicket-taker in T20I cricket among Indians.
The highest wicket-taker of 2024 T20 World Cup has the ability to swing the new ball. He can also follow that up with Yorkers and variations at the death as well.
In 61 matches he now has taken 97 wickets to go past Yuzvendra Chahal's record. Arsdheep has an average of 17.83 along with a 8.25 economy rate in T20I cricket.
Chahal, the leg-spinner, is one of the most clever bowlers in world cricket right now. With his experience in Chess, it is quite obvious that he outfox the batsman easily to get wickets.
Chahal has taken 96 wickets in his 80 T20 international matches. He was also the first Indian bowler to pick a 5-wicket haul in a T20 international game. His bowling average of 25.09 in T20Is speaks volumes for his wicket-taking ability.
However, recently he has found it hard to find a place in the Indian team.
#3 Bhuvneshwar Kumar: 90 T20 International Wickets
Once Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the bowler with most T20I wickets for India. Though Kumar has not played a single game for India since 2022, when bowlers like Arshdeep Singh was brought in the team.
The medium has taken 90 T20 international wickets in 87 games with an outstanding economy rate of 6.96. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is also the first Indian player to take five-wicket hauls in all formats of the game.
With age, Bhuvneshwar Kumar might find it tough to make a return to the Indian T20I squad, but with his accuracy, he still can be an asset for the team.
#4 Jasprit Bumrah : 89 T20 International Wickets
Probably the best Indian pacer of all time, Jasprit Bumrah is a gift of IPL to Indian cricket. His death-bowling skill and game reading ability are second to none. He is a blessing for any captain in the shortest format of the game.
Bumrah can come at any stage of the game and take a wicket without the batters trying to attack him. The 2024 T20 World Cup winner has taken 89 T20I wickets in just 70 games. He has an outstanding average of 17.74 along with his stunning economy rate of 6.27.
