Last Updated on 04/09/2022.

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: 100 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 64 matches he now has taken 100 wickets. Arsdheep has an average of 18.49 along with a 8.31 economy rate in T20I cricket.

#2 Hardik Pandya: 97 T20 International Wickets

Hardik Pandya claimed his 97th T20I wicket during India’s Asia Cup 2025 Super Fours clash against Pakistan in Dubai, moving past Yuzvendra Chahal into second place on India’s all-time list of most T20I wickets, behind Arshdeep Singh.He finished with figures of 1/29 after his three-over spell. 

The 31-year-old has 97 scalps in 118 matches at 26.63, and stands just three away from becoming just the second Indian to take 100 T20I wickets after Arshdeep Singh, who achieved the feat against Oman. Hardik also has 15 wickets in eight innings against Pakistan, the most by a bowler in the rivalry clash in T20Is. 

#3 Yuzvendra Chahal: 96 T20 International Wickets

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. 

#4 Jasprit Bumrah : 92 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 92 T20I wickets in just 73 games. He has an outstanding average of 18.16 along with his stunning economy rate of 6.36.

#5 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.

The mega clash between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 has been placed and India beat Pakistan in both group stage and super four matches so easily. Looking at the tournament record, both teams have played 20 matches against each other. Out of these, India have won 12 while Pakistan have claimed 6 games. However, in the last 10 years, the rivalry has become one-sided, where Pakistan managed to win only once in seven showdowns.

So, let's have a look at the bowlers with most wickets in India vs Pakistan matches in Asia Cup in both ODI and T20I formats.

5. Saeed Ajmal | 8 Wickets

Saeed Ajmal was one of the key spinners of Pakistan in the Asia Cup. Batters would struggle to score in front of him. Meanwhile, against India, Ajmal has taken 8 wickets in 4 matches at an average of 24.00 with a brilliant economy rate of 4.92.

In addition, Ajmal also played a key role in Pakistan’s win in 2012. He was one of the most reliable players on the team during the crucial matches.

4. Jasprit Bumrah | 8 Wickets

Jasprit Bumrah has been one of India’s biggest match-winners across formats, and his performances against Pakistan have been crucial in some of the most high-pressure encounters. His best ODI spell came in the 2018 Asia Cup, where he picked 2/29 in a tight 10-over spell.

Overall Bumrah took 8 wickets for India against Pakistan in Asia Cup in 7 games. In the latest edition (2025), Bumrah is being used strategically in the powerplay overs, a new role for him in T20Is. Against Pakistan, he claimed 2 wickets, dismantling their top order.

3. Hardik Pandya | 10 Wickets

India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya has balanced his batting fireworks with key bowling contributions. His 10 wickets against Pakistan in only 8 games highlight his knack for breakthroughs, often dismissing set batsmen or breaking partnerships with clever use of short balls and cutters.

Pandya’s bowling has been particularly valuable when India experimented with team balance, allowing them to play an extra batsman while still retaining bowling depth. His dual role makes him one of the most influential Asia Cup performers of recent times.

2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar | 10 Wickets

Indian pace spearhead Bhuvneshwar Kumar has taken 10 wickets in 5 matches in Asia Cup for India against Pakistan. He ran through Pakistan's batting line-up in the Asia Cup 2022 match at the Dubai International Stadium. He registered figures worth 4/26(4) as the Pakistani innings folded on 147. 

Bhuvi has also become the first-ever bowler to take four or more wickets against Pakistan in T20 Internationals. He bowled 13 dot balls in the match. However, he is not part of the current T20I squad. 

1. Kuldeep Yadav | 12 Wickets

Indian spinners kuldeep Yadav is India's top wicket-taker against Pakistan in Asia Cup. He have always played an integral part in the success of the Men in Blue, and Kuldeep Yadav has added to the tradition with his performances in recent years. He possesses the X-factor with his chinaman bowling and has been the tormentor-in-chief in the recent outing against Pakistan.

Currently the 30-year-old is the part of the India squad in the T20I Asia cup 2025, and he played a crucial role for India against Pakistan in both group stage and super four matches. Kuldeep also has been part of an Asia Cup match against Pakistan in the ODI format. Overall, he took a total of 12 wickets in 6 matches. Kuldeep possesses mystery in his bowling, and the Pakistan batters have always struggled to read his variations.

India have been the most successful team in the history of Asia Cup, having won the continental tournament as many as eight times (seven in ODI format, one in T20I format), since the inception of tournament in 1984. Over the years, India’s supremacy has been challenged by Pakistan more than any other team in the competition.

So far, India have played against Pakistan on 20 occasions in Asia Cup since 1984, winning eleven and losing six, while three matches was abandoned. Let's take a look at how the two teams fared when they clashed against each other in their bid for Asian supremacy.

India vs Pakistan T20I Match Results

The first-ever India vs Pakistan T20 match was a classic and is remembered as one of the most thrilling games in cricket history. Led by MS Dhoni, the Men in Blue went on to post a total of 141/9 with Robin Uthappa top-scoring after making 50 off 39 balls.

Chasing a target of 142, Pakistan needed 12 off the last over with Misbah-ul-Haq and all-rounder Yasir Arafat at the crease. Arafat picked up a single off the first ball of the final over to give the strike to Misbah-ul-Haq, who scored 10 from the next three deliveries.

With one needed off two, India’s S Sreesanth bowled a dot ball, taking the match down to the wire. The theatrics continued off the last ball as Misbah hit the ball towards cover only for Yuvraj Singh to pick it up and throw to the non-strikers end, where Sreesanth was present to whip off the bails as the match ended in a dramatic tie.

Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, Team India will face Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 Super Fours in Dubai on Sunday, September 21. Whenever Indian and Pakistan face each other, there is always tension between their players but this time it has reached a new level.

Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav and his teammates sparked a new controversy when they refused to shake hands with Pakistan players in the last India vs Pakistan group stage match. It is believed that a similar stance may be seen this time as well.

Talking about Team India's journey so far, Sanju Samson had scored a half-century against Oman, but if right-handed batsman Shubman Gill gets out early, then the chances of him batting at number three against Pakistan are slim. In such a situation, captain Suryakumar will again return to his familiar position, which has made him the number one batsman in the world.

Pakistan, on the other hand, has a reputation for being unpredictable, but the current team appears to be lacking, especially in the batting department. Their batsmen have so far failed to understand spin bowlers.

Here is everything you need to know before the India vs Pakistan Super Fours clash in the Asia Cup 2025.
