Arshdeep Singh Moves Closer to Virat Kohli in ICC Trophy Tally

The Indian pacer, Arshdeep Singh, has achieved something in his career which many experienced players have thrived for. Aged 27, Arshdeep has won his fourth ICC trophy, levelling with Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, and more. The only player which stands above him is Virat Kohli.

The young pacer of the Indian team, Arshdeep Singh, doesn't mind breaking records. Ever since his debut back in 2022, he has come out to be India's star pacer in the T20 format. With his impressive swinging deliveries, India has been able to do well in this format over the last few years.

This is also the reason why India won the T20 World Cup 2026 while hosting it, and are now the three time champions. Moreover, the recent edition of the T20 World Cup was in his career. He now stands just behind King Kohli in terms of ICC trophies, as he could level him by winning just one more.
