Current statusActive India cricketer and left-arm medium-fast bowler; the ESPNcricinfo snapshot accessed 8 November 2026 lists India T20I appearances through 1 November 2026. This is a dated playing-status snapshot, not a forecast of selection.
The verified profile
Born in Guna, Madhya Pradesh, Arshdeep Singh came through India’s Under-19 and Punjab pathways before becoming a Punjab Kings player and India international. His record includes 17 wickets in India’s 2024 T20 World Cup win, the ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year award for 2024, and an ESPNcricinfo career snapshot listing 151 T20I wickets.
Factual references: Sources 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7How to read the player
Arshdeep’s value spans phases: ESPNcricinfo describes new-ball swing, tight lines when movement is limited, yorkers from both over and around the wicket, a deceptive bouncer and slower variations at the death. The same public record recounts costly overs followed by wicket-taking or successful final-over responses, so the analysis focuses on documented bowling roles and match responses rather than an unsupported speed claim.

Personal background
Arshdeep Singh was born on 5 February 1999 in Guna, Madhya Pradesh. ESPNcricinfo identifies him as a left-hand batter and left-arm medium-fast bowler whose playing role is bowler; the ICC profile gives the same role and bowling style. The reviewed sporting sources do not require private family or relationship detail. Question: How old is Arshdeep Singh? Answer: He was born on 5 February 1999, making him 27 on the 8 November 2026 research date.
Professional journey
His route runs through India’s 2018 Under-19 World Cup squad, Punjab cricket, the Punjab Kings team and the India T20I side. ESPNcricinfo records his List A debut for Punjab and his selection by Punjab Kings, while the IPL’s own 2023 match report identifies him as the franchise’s left-arm pacer. Question: Which state is Arshdeep Singh from? Answer: The profile record gives his birthplace as Guna, Madhya Pradesh. That answer describes birthplace, not every later training or residence location.
Playing career
Arshdeep’s rise is clearest when formats stay separate. He moved from an 18-wicket 2021 IPL season to India’s T20I attack, became India’s top wicket-taker at the 2022 T20 World Cup, and took his first international five-for against South Africa in 2023. In 2024 he took 17 wickets in the T20 World Cup and helped India win the final. Question: What are Arshdeep Singh’s stats? Answer: The fetched ESPNcricinfo snapshot lists 18 ODIs with 30 wickets, 104 T20Is with 151 wickets, and 96 PBKS IPL matches with 111 wickets; each is a format-specific snapshot accessed 8 November 2026. Question: How many wickets did Arshdeep Singh take at the 2024 T20 World Cup? Answer: He took 17 wickets, jointly the most in that edition at the time, and India won the tournament.
Playing style
Arshdeep is effective because his left-arm angle supports more than one phase of a T20 innings. ESPNcricinfo describes new-ball swing, tight lines when movement is limited, accurate yorkers from both over and around the wicket, a deceptive bouncer and slower variations at the death. The useful distinction is control under changing demands, not an unsupported claim that one speed figure defines him. Question: What is Arshdeep Singh’s fastest ball? Answer: The reviewed ICC and ESPNcricinfo sources describe 140kph-plus deliveries but do not establish one verified fastest-ball speed, so this profile does not publish a precise number.
Setbacks and comebacks
The public record shows pressure in sporting terms rather than a need to speculate about private life. ESPNcricinfo recounts an expensive final over against New Zealand in Ranchi, a two-wicket response in Lucknow, and a later nine-run final-over defence against Australia. These are match and public-reporting facts; no private mental-health or medical claim is added.
Post-playing work
Arshdeep remains an active cricketer in the reviewed record, so a post-playing career is not presented. The ICC profile displays a 2026 last-match snapshot, and ESPNcricinfo’s fetched recent-matches table lists India T20Is through 1 November 2026. The status is deliberately dated to the evidence reviewed rather than turned into a prediction about future selection or retirement.
Public ventures
The reviewed ICC, ESPNcricinfo and IPL pages document Arshdeep’s sporting career but do not establish a qualifying athlete-owned company, investment, charity leadership role or other public venture. That is a limit of the reviewed sources, not proof that no private or commercial activity exists. Relationship searches and net-worth estimates were excluded from the biography because they are not supported by the evidence used here.
