MI Vs PBKS, IPL 2026: Arshdeep Singh Scripts History With 100 Wickets For Punjab Kings - Check Stats

Arshdeep Singh achieved a major milestone for Punjab Kings in the IPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians on April 16 at the Wankhede Stadium, becoming the franchise’s first bowler to reach 100 wickets.

From the very first over, Arshdeep looked in control, giving away just a solitary run while forcing MI’s top order into early caution.

He returned for his second over and struck immediately, knocking over Ryan Rickelton on the first ball. The South African managed only 2 runs off 8 deliveries before falling, unable to get going against the probing left-arm angle and movement.

The pressure only deepened for Mumbai Indians as Arshdeep struck again soon after, this time removing Suryakumar Yadav. The dismissal, taken smartly in the field with Yuzvendra Chahal involved in the catch, further dented MI’s momentum and left the home side scrambling for stability in the powerplay.

By the time of reporting, Arshdeep had delivered two overs, conceded just four runs, and picked up two crucial wickets, setting the tone for Punjab Kings in a crucial away fixture.

The match also marked a historic personal milestone for Arshdeep Singh, as he became the first bowler in Punjab Kings’ IPL history to reach 100 wickets. The landmark came with the dismissal of Rickelton, underlining his long-standing consistency and value as the franchise’s frontline bowler across seasons.

Now in his 87th appearance for the Punjab-based side, Arshdeep has evolved into the team’s primary strike option, trusted across phases and conditions.
