Left-arm quick Arshdeep Singh was on Saturday crowned the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year, capping a spectacular year in the shortest format. He pipped the challenge from Travis Head, Babar Azam and Sikandar Raza to take the honour.
Arshdeep was by far India's leading wicket-taker of the year with 36 scalps from 18 matches, with Ravi Bishnoi being second having taken 22 wickets. The left-arm pacer also played a crucial role in India's T20 World Cup 2024 win. He was India's highest wicket-taker and joint-highest overall with 17 scalps alongside Fazalhaq Farooqi.
