Arshdeep Singh vs Josh Hazlewood - comparing their stats after 59 T20Is

Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh is Team India's leading wicket-taker in T20Is. In fact, he is the only bowler from the country who has taken 100-plus wickets in the format. Four other Indian bowlers have picked up 90 or more wickets in T20Is - Hardik Pandya (98), Jasprit Bumrah (96), Yuzvendra Chahal (96) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (90).

Arshdeep made his T20I debut against England in Southampton in July 2022 and has quickly gone on to become a key member of the Indian team. It has been really surprising that the Men in Blue management have kept him out of the playing XI in recent T20I matches. He was not picked in Canberra as well for the opening game of the five-match series against Australia.

In this feature, we compare his T20I stats with that of seasoned Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood. Since the Aussie has played 59 T20Is so far, we compare his stats with Arshdeep after the latter had also the same number of matches.
