Arshdeep Singh finds a silver lining in India's heavy defeat, scripts T20I record

Despite a crushing 87-run loss to New Zealand, Arshdeep Singh achieved significant individual milestones during the fourth T20I. By dismissing Mitchell Santner, the pacer reached 40 wickets in a single calendar year, setting a new record for Full Member nations.

Additionally, he became the first Indian to reach 150 T20I wickets, doing so in record time both by balls bowled and days since his debut.

New Zealand set a daunting target of 259/7, the highest total ever recorded against India in the format, fueled by Glenn Phillips' 107 and Michael Bracewell's 65. India's chase faltered immediately, with Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan falling in the opening over, ultimately resulting in a total of 172/9.
