Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh dazzled at Eden Gardens, taking 2 key wickets against England in the 1st T20I. With Mohammed Shami's absence raising eyebrows, Arshdeep stepped up, breaking Yuzvendra Chahal's record as India's leading T20I wicket-taker (97). His fiery spell, combined with Varun Chakaravarthy, Axar Patel, and Ravi Bishnoi's tight bowling, restricted England to 132. Abhishek Sharma’s explosive 20-ball 50 sealed India’s emphatic win, delighting the Kolkata crowd. Fans celebrated Arshdeep’s heroics, chanting his name and enjoying his impromptu bhangra. The match ended early, ensuring many reached home before midnight.
