The third T20I match between India and South Africa was historic. In this match, India’s opening batsmen Tilak Verma and Abhishek Sharma batted well and scored a huge score of 219 runs. Thereafter, the Indian bowlers bowled well and restricted South Africa to 208/7. For Team India, Arshdeep Singh took maximum 3 wickets in his bag. Meanwhile, Varun Chakraborty took 2 wickets while Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel took 1- 1 success.

The South African batsmen performed well against India’s 219, but it was Arshdeep who ultimately helped India emerge victorious thanks to some excellent bowling in the final over. During this time, Ashdeep made history. In fact, Arshdeep took 3 wickets and scored 37 runs in 4 overs to claim the first place crown, leaving all Indian fast bowlers behind.

Arshdeep Singh achieved a great feat as a fast bowler by bowling out Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar Legends like (Bhuvneshwar Kumar), who took the most wickets for India in T20Is. Arshdeep now has 92 wickets in T20I cricket. Before this match, Arshdeep was 2 wickets away from surpassing Bhuvi, while Jasprit was level with Bumrah’s 89 wickets. But now Arshdeep has emerged as the Indian fast bowler with the highest T20I wicket-taker.
