Punjab Kings managed to reach the IPL finals after 11 years but lost the game by six runs despite Shashank Singh’s amazing fight with the bat. Arshdeep Singh, who has become India’s top bowler in the T20I format, had a stellar season with the ball for PBKS, taking 21 wickets. Singh was retained by the franchise using the Right To Match card during the IPL 2025 auctions last year.
Arshdeep Singh was one of the key reasons why PBKS managed to reach the finals. The left-arm seamer excelled with the new ball and also did well in the death overs. Having picked 21 wickets, the left-arm seamer was one of the top wicket takers in the IPL 2025 season. This also got Arshdeep Singh a chance to be called up to the Test team for the first time for the upcoming England tour.
Here are Arshdeep Singh’s top 3 performances in IPL 2025
3. 2/28 vs Mumbai Indians
Punjab Kings had to beat Mumbai Indians in a bid to end the IPL 2025 league phase at the top spot in the points table. MI batted first and scored 184 on the board thanks to Suryakumar Yadav’s 57. Arshdeep Singh bowled four overs and picked up two wickets for 28 runs. His wicket, that day, included Suryakumar Yadav and Naman Dhir in the final over of the innings. If it hadn’t been for Arshdeep’s final over, MI would have scored a lot more runs as they looked good to score 200 at one stage.
2. 3/43 vs Lucknow Super Giants
In the game between PBKS and LSG, Arshdeep Singh began by getting the wicket of Mitchell Marsh for a golden duck. The left-arm seamer then got the wickets of Ayush Badoni for 41 and Abdul Samad for 27 as LSG scored 171 on the board. PBKS won the game by eight wickets as Prabhsimran Singh scored 69 and Shreyas Iyer was not out on 52. Arshdeep may have conceded over 40 runs and may have been expensive, but his two wickets at the end changed the course of the game in PBKS’ favour.
