Arshdeep Singh is an Indian left-arm medium-fast bowler who has become a major part of India’s white-ball attack. Born on 5 February 1999 in Guna, Madhya Pradesh, he developed his cricket in the Chandigarh-Kharar area and progressed through Punjab age-group cricket, India’s Under-19 setup, the IPL and eventually the senior national team. He made his T20I debut against England in July 2022 and his ODI debut against New Zealand later that year.
By September 2026, Arshdeep had established himself as one of India’s leading T20I wicket-takers. He became the first Indian bowler to take 100 men’s T20I wickets, reaching the landmark in 64 matches in September 2025. By the latest available statistics in September 2026, he had taken 140 T20I wickets in 93 matches and 30 ODI wickets in 18 matches.
His career also includes the 2018 ICC Under-19 World Cup, India’s 2024 T20 World Cup triumph and the 2026 T20 World Cup victory. At the 2024 T20 World Cup, he took 17 wickets and finished as the joint-leading wicket-taker, while he was also named ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year for 2024.

Arshdeep Singh’s Early Life and Childhood
Arshdeep Singh was born in Guna, Madhya Pradesh, where his father Darshan Singh was posted with the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). The family later moved to the Kharar area near Chandigarh. His father worked for more than 25 years with the CISF, and contemporary reporting from 2018 and 2022 documents his parents’ involvement in Arshdeep’s early cricket journey.
As a youngster, Arshdeep initially played cricket with neighbourhood children. He later joined coach Jaswant Rai’s academy in Chandigarh in 2015. Rai recalled that Arshdeep’s height and ability to produce movement immediately stood out, although his early development also required greater control and accuracy. Training focused on repeatedly bowling at a consistent length rather than trying to produce a different delivery on every ball.
That development became particularly important because Arshdeep eventually built his game around two of the most valuable skills for a left-arm fast bowler: creating movement and maintaining accuracy under pressure.
Arshdeep Singh’s Family: Parents, Brother and Sister
Arshdeep’s parents are Darshan Singh and Baljit Kaur. His father worked with the CISF for more than two decades and was posted in Guna when Arshdeep was born. Later, the family settled around Kharar, allowing Arshdeep to pursue cricket more consistently.
His family has followed his career closely. His elder brother Akashdeep Singh and sister Gurleen Kaur were mentioned in contemporary reporting during his 2018 Under-19 World Cup campaign.
His parents were also present during some of the most emotional stages of his international career. After India’s 2024 T20 World Cup triumph, Arshdeep celebrated with his parents, while his mother spoke about how significant the victory was for the family.
Arshdeep Singh’s Education and Cricket Training
Public cricket profiles commonly associate Arshdeep with Guru Nanak Public School in Chandigarh. His cricket development, however, was strongly connected with the Chandigarh-area academy system.
In 2015, he began training under Jaswant Rai, whose coaching emphasized control, length and repeatability. Rai later explained that Arshdeep initially wanted to bowl too many variations, but the coaching process focused on establishing accuracy first.
That approach eventually became visible in Arshdeep’s professional game. His repertoire developed around movement with the new ball, changes of pace and yorkers at the end of an innings.
Arshdeep Singh’s Under-19 and Domestic Cricket Career
Arshdeep first attracted significant attention in Punjab age-group cricket. He played in the Katoch Shield, a Punjab state inter-district tournament, before progressing to the Punjab Under-23 side.
One of his most significant early performances came in the 2018 CK Nayudu Trophy against Rajasthan Under-23. He took eight wickets in Rajasthan’s second innings, including a hat-trick, and finished with 10 wickets in the match. Contemporary reporting also noted that he had taken 27 wickets in six matches for Punjab Under-23 during that competition.
His List A debut for Punjab came in the 2018-19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, while his first-class debut followed against Vidarbha in the 2019-20 Ranji Trophy.
Domestic career milestones
- Punjab Under-23 breakthrough in 2018
- 10 wickets against Rajasthan Under-23
- Hat-trick in the CK Nayudu Trophy
- List A debut for Punjab in September 2018
- First-class debut for Punjab in January 2019
- Continued domestic representation for Punjab
- Later represented North Zone in the Duleep Trophy
His red-ball career has remained smaller than his white-ball career, but he has continued to pursue opportunities in longer-format cricket. In 2026, he spoke about wanting to play all three international formats.

Arshdeep Singh and the 2018 Under-19 World Cup
Arshdeep was part of India’s 2018 Under-19 World Cup-winning squad in New Zealand. He played two matches in the tournament.
The campaign was important because it placed him in an elite group of young Indian cricketers moving through the national development system. He had already appeared in the Youth Asia Cup and India Red’s Challenger Trophy setup before the World Cup.
The Under-19 environment also brought him into contact with coaching staff including Rahul Dravid, who was India’s Under-19 head coach at the time. Arshdeep’s father later credited Dravid’s influence on his son’s development.
How Arshdeep Singh Entered the IPL
Arshdeep’s IPL opportunity came with Kings XI Punjab, now known as Punjab Kings.
Punjab selected him in the 2019 IPL auction, and he made his IPL debut that season. He initially appeared as a young left-arm option before gradually becoming an important part of the team’s bowling attack.
His early IPL development was particularly valuable because he was given responsibility in difficult phases of the innings.
Arshdeep himself explained that he enjoyed bowling in the powerplay and at the death, while relying on slower balls and yorkers as important parts of his T20 bowling.
Arshdeep Singh’s IPL Career and Punjab Kings Journey
Arshdeep has spent his entire IPL career with the Punjab franchise. The team’s name changed from Kings XI Punjab to Punjab Kings, but he remained with the same franchise.
His IPL wicket totals by season through 2026 are:
| IPL season | Matches | Wickets | Best |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 3 | 3 | 2/43 |
| 2020 | 8 | 9 | 3/23 |
| 2021 | 12 | 18 | 5/32 |
| 2022 | 14 | 10 | 3/37 |
| 2023 | 14 | 17 | 4/29 |
| 2024 | 14 | 19 | 4/29 |
| 2025 | 16 | 21 | 3/16 |
| 2026 | 14 | 14 | 3/22 |
Punjab Kings’ official profile lists 96 IPL matches and 111 wickets for Arshdeep through the 2026 season.
Arshdeep’s 2021 IPL breakthrough
The 2021 season was particularly significant. He took 18 wickets in 12 matches, including his first IPL five-wicket haul, 5/32 against Rajasthan Royals.
That performance helped establish him as more than an emerging prospect.
IPL 2025
In the 2025 auction, Punjab Kings used the Right to Match option to bring Arshdeep back for ₹18 crore. He subsequently took 21 wickets in the season, his highest IPL tally at that point.
IPL 2026
Punjab Kings retained Arshdeep as part of their 2026 squad. He finished the season with 14 wickets in 14 matches, including 3/22 against Mumbai Indians.
He also became the first bowler to reach 100 IPL wickets for the Punjab franchise, adding another franchise record to his career.
Arshdeep Singh’s International Debut for India
Arshdeep made his T20I debut against England in Southampton on 7 July 2022.
He made an immediate statistical impression by bowling a maiden over and taking two wickets. He became only the third Indian bowler to bowl a maiden on a T20I debut.
His international rise was rapid. Within months, he was involved in India’s T20 World Cup campaign and became a regular member of the white-ball setup.
Arshdeep Singh’s ODI Debut
Arshdeep made his ODI debut against New Zealand in Auckland on 25 November 2022.
The debut came after his emergence during the 2022 T20 World Cup and his performances in New Zealand’s T20I series.
His ODI career has developed more slowly than his T20I career, but by September 2026 he had taken 30 wickets in 18 ODIs, including a career-best 5/37.
Arshdeep Singh’s 2022 T20 World Cup Breakthrough
The 2022 T20 World Cup was the tournament that introduced Arshdeep to a much wider international audience.
He became particularly remembered for his opening spell against Pakistan, where he dismissed Babar Azam and later Mohammad Rizwan.
His ability to swing the new ball and attack the stumps gave India a left-arm pace option that had been missing from parts of the team’s white-ball setup.
The tournament also demonstrated an important aspect of his career: he was increasingly trusted with high-pressure overs despite being only 23.
Arshdeep Singh’s 2023 County Cricket Stint with Kent
In 2023, Arshdeep took an unusual step for an Indian limited-overs specialist by joining Kent for a spell in the County Championship.
He made his county debut against Surrey in June 2023. In his first innings, he dismissed England wicketkeeper-batter Ben Foakes for his maiden County Championship wicket and finished the innings with figures of 2/43.
The experience gave Arshdeep exposure to first-class cricket outside India despite having relatively limited first-class experience at the time.
It was also consistent with his longer-term interest in developing as a bowler across formats.
Arshdeep Singh’s 2024 T20 World Cup Campaign
The 2024 T20 World Cup was the defining international tournament of Arshdeep’s career to that point.
He took 17 wickets in eight matches, finishing as the joint-highest wicket-taker alongside Afghanistan’s Fazalhaq Farooqi. His best figures were 4/9.
His 4/9 against the United States was one of his standout performances of the tournament.
Arshdeep Singh in the 2024 T20 World Cup final
In India’s final against South Africa in Barbados, Arshdeep took 2/20.
He removed Aiden Markram early and later dismissed Quinton de Kock. His most important contribution came late in the innings when he bowled the penultimate over with South Africa still within reach of the target.
He conceded only four runs in that over, leaving Hardik Pandya 16 runs to defend in the final over. India won by seven runs.
Arshdeep Singh Named ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year
Arshdeep’s overall 2024 season earned him the ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year award.
The ICC recorded 36 wickets from 18 T20Is during the calendar year. He was also selected in the ICC Men’s T20I Team of the Year.
The award recognized a year in which Arshdeep became one of India’s primary powerplay and death-over bowlers.
Arshdeep Singh’s 100 T20I Wickets Record
On 19 September 2025, Arshdeep became the first Indian bowler to reach 100 wickets in men’s T20Is.
He reached the milestone against Oman at the 2025 Asia Cup, taking his 100th wicket in his 64th T20I. He was also the fastest seamer to reach 100 T20I wickets in terms of matches at that point.
This milestone became one of the clearest statistical markers of his rapid international development.
Arshdeep Singh at the 2025 Champions Trophy
Arshdeep was selected in India’s squad for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. The squad included several members of India’s 2024 T20 World Cup-winning group, with Arshdeep included among the pace options.
The Champions Trophy represented another stage in his transition from a predominantly T20 specialist toward a broader white-ball role.
Arshdeep Singh at the 2026 T20 World Cup
Arshdeep was part of India’s successful 2026 T20 World Cup campaign.
India defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in the final at Ahmedabad on 8 March 2026, successfully defending the T20 World Cup title. Arshdeep played in the final and bowled four overs for 0/32.
Across the 2026 tournament, he took 9 wickets in eight matches.
India’s victory made the team the first men’s side to win the T20 World Cup three times and the first to defend the title.
Arshdeep Singh’s 2026 International Season
Arshdeep remained active for India across multiple white-ball assignments during 2026.
He played against:
- New Zealand
- Afghanistan
- Ireland
- England
- Japan
His 2026 ODI workload included three ODIs against Afghanistan and three against England. He took five wickets against Afghanistan, including 3/45 in Lucknow, and later played all three ODIs in England.
In T20Is, he continued to operate as a frontline bowling option.
By September 2026, contemporary statistical reporting listed him at 140 T20I wickets from 93 matches, making him India’s leading T20I wicket-taker.
Arshdeep Singh’s 2026 India vs Japan T20I
On 22 September 2026, Arshdeep was selected in India’s XI for the historic one-off T20I against Japan.
The rain-affected game was reduced to five overs per side. India scored 32/4 and Japan made 30/3, giving India a two-run victory. Arshdeep was selected but did not bowl because India used its spin options during Japan’s five-over innings.
This match is important for his current chronology because it is later than the Afghanistan T20I series and occurred immediately before India’s men’s Asian Games campaign.
Arshdeep Singh and the 2026 Asian Games
As of 25 September 2026, Arshdeep is part of India’s men’s cricket squad for the 2026 Asian Games in Japan.
The Indian squad is captained by Shreyas Iyer and includes Arshdeep alongside players such as Jasprit Bumrah, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and Axar Patel.
India have a direct quarter-final berth and are scheduled to play their first men’s cricket match of the Games on 28 September 2026.
Therefore, as of the research cutoff, his Asian Games campaign has not yet begun.
Arshdeep Singh’s Bowling Style and Strengths
Arshdeep is a left-arm medium-fast bowler whose value comes from the combination of angle, movement and variation.
His bowling can be divided broadly into three phases.
New-ball bowling
His left-arm angle gives him a natural line across right-handed batters while allowing the ball to move back into them. Early movement has been a recurring part of his success.
Middle-over variations
Arshdeep uses slower deliveries and changes of pace to prevent batters from settling into predictable patterns. His own comments have highlighted his trust in slower balls.
Death bowling
Yorkers are one of his principal weapons at the end of an innings. His ability to execute them under pressure has been central to his IPL and international T20 role.
This combination explains why he has repeatedly been trusted with both the first overs and the final overs of T20 innings.

Ahead of the 2025 auction, Punjab initially released him. During the auction, the franchise used its Right to Match card to reacquire him for ₹18 crore.
He remained part of Punjab Kings’ squad for the 2026 season. The official 2026 retention list also confirms his continuation with the franchise.
These figures are IPL auction/retention values, not verified personal annual income or net worth.
Arshdeep Singh’s Test Cricket Ambitions
Arshdeep has not yet played Test cricket.
In August 2026, he discussed his desire to play all three formats and explained that he continues to work with both red and white balls. His recent longer-format involvement included domestic cricket and the Duleep Trophy.
His first-class experience remains considerably smaller than his white-ball career, but his continued red-ball work means Test cricket remains an expressed professional objective rather than an existing part of his international record.
Arshdeep Singh’s Personal Life
Arshdeep keeps much of his personal life away from detailed public coverage.
His parents, siblings and early family background are documented by established Indian newspapers, particularly around his Under-19 and early India career.
There is no sufficiently authoritative public evidence identified in this research for a reliable current wife, girlfriend or relationship claim, so such claims should not be presented as established biography facts.
Likewise, widely circulated internet estimates of his net worth do not have the kind of audited or authoritative documentation necessary to state a precise figure. An IPL auction price should not be confused with net worth.
