Athapaththu, Wolvaardt Shortlisted For Women's T20I Cricketer Of The Year

Arshdeep Singh who starred in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup triumph joins Zimbabwe's Sikandar Raza, Pakistan's Babar Azam and Australia's Travis Head as nominees for the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year, according to the ICC. Arshdeep Singh has stepped up as India's primary pacer in the T20I format, especially with Jasprit Bumrah being selectively picked for T20Is due to his commitments in Tests and ODIs. Arshdeep's prowess is evident from his impressive tally of 36 wickets over the years, the second-best by an Indian player in Men's T20Is, just behind Bhuvneshwar Kumar's 37 wickets in 2022.

Remarkably, Arshdeep's numbers came from just 18 games compared to Kumar's 32. In 2022, he was the third-best with 33 scalps. The seamer has filled the much-needed role of a left-arm pacer in the shortest format for Team India, delivering sensational performances across conditions and playing a crucial role in India's victories at home and in the West Indies, Sri Lanka, and South Africa.

One of Arshdeep's memorable performances came in the Men's T20 World Cup final. While Bumrah is often remembered for his game-turning over, India's triumph would have been impossible without Arshdeep's stellar support.
