The fourth of five T20 series matches between India and West Indies is scheduled for October 14 (Wednesday) and will take place at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. This match provides Indian fast bowler Arshadip Singh with an opportunity to achieve a remarkable feat.
Arshadip Singh is just six wickets away from accomplishing something no Indian fast bowler has managed before. Currently, Arshadip has played 97 T20Is for India and has 144 wickets, with his best performance being five wickets for 51 runs.
If Arshadip collects the remaining six wickets in the fourth match or during this series in Hyderabad, he will become the first Indian fast bowler to reach 150 wickets in international T20 cricket.
In the third T20 match, which took place in Indore, Arshadip Singh also demonstrated excellent bowling. He dismissed captain Windbie Shy Hope, which changed the course of the match. Furthermore, Arshadip sent Sherphen Rutherford and Kim Paul to the bench, allowing India to secure a close victory by 14 points, increasing their advantage in the series to 2-1.
After the match, Arshadip stated that the correct application of strategies developed with the coaching staff helped him. He also smiled and apologized to his teammate Akshar Patel for the error that led to the partner's dismissal via an out.
