IPL 2026: Arshdeep Singh Shines With Three-Fer in MI vs PBKS, Scripts History To Achieve Unique Record

In the IPL 2026 encounter between the Punjab Kings and the Mumbai Indians, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh is spearheading the bowling attack. After giving up just one run in his opening over of the game, he removed Ryan Rickelton on the first ball of his second over. Arshdeep became the first bowler in history to take 100 wickets for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), thanks to the wicket of Rickelton, who scored two runs off eight deliveries. Arshdeep’s 87th IPL match for the Punjab-based team is now taking place at Wankhede Stadium between PBKS and MI in 2026. Former India spinner Piyush Chawla is next to Arshdeep on the list of bowlers with the most wickets for the Punjab Kings in the IPL. From 2008 to 2013, Chawla played 87 IPL games with the Preity Zinta-owned team, dismissing 84 batters.
