The statistical profile you’ve provided matches the recent high-impact performance of India’s premier left-arm pacer, Arshdeep Singh (born February 5, 1999).

As of January 21, 2026, Arshdeep Singh is at the pinnacle of his career. Fresh from being named the ICC T20I Cricketer of the Year, he enters the IPL 2026 season as a retained superstar for Punjab Kings, valued at a staggering ₹18 Crore.

Arshdeep Singh: Career Profile & 2026 Status

The ₹18 Crore Milestone

Arshdeep’s value peaked during the 2025 mega-auction cycle when Punjab Kings used their Right to Match (RTM) card to secure him for ₹18 Crore, making him one of the highest-paid Indian pacers in league history. This investment was vindicated in the 2025 season, where he claimed 16 wickets and became the all-time leading wicket-taker for Punjab Kings, surpassing the legendary Piyush Chawla.

T20 World Cup & International Dominance

Arshdeep’s “big-match” temperament was solidified during India’s 2024 T20 World Cup triumph, where he finished as the joint-highest wicket-taker (17 wickets). In September 2025, he achieved another historic milestone by becoming the first Indian bowler to take 100 T20I wickets, reaching the feat in just 64 matches—the fastest by any Indian pacer.

All-Round Evolution

While primarily a strike bowler, Arshdeep has significantly improved his batting. His career-best 34* in the 2025 IPL season showcased his ability to hang around and score vital runs in the death overs, turning him into a more well-rounded asset for captain Shreyas Iyer.
