India won the T20 World Cup 2024 that happened in the Caribbean and USA on the back of some high-quality batting and top-class bowling. Every time India looked down and out, bowlers pulled out a trick from their hat to turn things around for the 'Men in Blue'.

From left-arm spinners to right-arm pacers, many have donned the Indian blue jersey, but not all have succeeded. However, there are many who have made our country proud by picking wickets at crucial junctures of the game.

In the ongoing first T20I between India and England, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh became India's highest wicket-taker in the shortest format. Therefore, let's have a look at the top five players who feature on this list alongside Arshdeep.

Top Wicket-Takers For India In T20Is

5) Hardik Pandya - 89 Wickets (In 110 Matches)

Charismatic India all-rounder Hardik Pandya features in almost every list because of his versatility in all departments. Pandya has featured in a total of 110 matches but has only bowled in 98 of them where he has picked up 89 wickets at an economy of 8.18 while averaging 26.74.

4) Jasprit Bumrah - 89 Wickets (In 70 Matches)

Star performer for India in every format and probably the best-ever to hold a leather ball for the nation, Jasprit Bumrah has been incredible. With variations that deceive the batter, the right-armer has an unorthodox action that helps his cause a lot more. Looking at his stats, 89 wickets in 70 games at an economy of 6.27 is way too good. Not to forget his average of 17.74.

3) Bhuvneshwar Kumar - 90 Wickets (In 87 Matches)

Swing master, who at his prime was difficult to get away, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is at number three on this list with an experience of 87 T20I matches for India. He has picked up 90 wickets with his mastery at a remarkable economy of 6.96 with an average of 23.10. Bhuvi's skill of bowling in-swinging yorkers made him a wily customer.

2) Yuzvendra Chahal - 96 Wickets (In 80 Matches)

The spin wizard, Yuzvendra Chahal, has been outstanding for India with the white ball, as he has picked up 96 wickets in 80 games with an economy of 8.19, making him an excellent option for any side. The leg-spinner has been crucial to India in the past with his skill to get the better off any batter.

1) Arshdeep Singh - 97 Wickets (In 61 Matches)

Newly crowned No.1 bowler for India in T20Is is none other than left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh who has done exceedingly well for India in the absence of many senior players. After cementing his place in the side, Arshdeep became the mainstay bowler who would regularly pick wickets with the new ball. In 61 matches, the Punjab-born cricketer has 97 wickets at an economy of 8.27 while having an average of 17.80.
