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.
