Arshdeep first dismissed Ryan Rickelton with a delivery down the leg side that was flicked straight into the hands of Shashank Singh at deep square leg. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>It wasn\u2019t his best ball, but it got the job done, and more importantly, brought up his 100th IPL wicket.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/> <\/p>\n<div class=\"wLCOS vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"ap_Bf\">\n<div class=\"ZM4zO\">\n<p><i class=\"bo2C4\"\/> <span>Watch<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <!-- -->Bombay Sport Exchange: Munaf Patel on Gautam Gambhir, Virat vs Bumrah &amp; Indian bowling.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Before Mumbai could recover, Arshdeep struck again. On the very next delivery, he produced a much sharper effort, getting the ball to move away from <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/player-profile\/suryakumar-yadav\/11803\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Suryakumar Yadav<\/a>. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>The MI batter went for an aggressive drive but only managed an outside edge, which flew to Yuzvendra Chahal at short third man. The catch was clean, the impact immediate, and suddenly Arshdeep was on a hat-trick.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>With that double strike, Arshdeep joined an exclusive list of left-arm pacers featuring the likes of <!-- -->Trent Boult<!-- -->, <!-- -->Jaydev Unadkat<!-- -->, Ashish Nehra, and Zaheer Khan who have crossed the 100-wicket mark in IPL history.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Interestingly, this was also Arshdeep\u2019s first powerplay wicket in his last 11 IPL innings, making the moment even more significant. His spell not only dented Mumbai early but also injected energy into the Punjab camp, with fans erupting in celebration.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>At 48\/2 after six overs, Mumbai had been jolted early, and Arshdeep\u2019s burst set the tone. In a format where momentum shifts quickly, his back-to-back strikes were a reminder of how one over can change the course of a match and cement a player\u2019s place among the league\u2019s finest.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2026\/ipl-arshdeep-singh-scripts-history-becomes-first-punjab-kings-bowler-to-\/articleshow\/130310259.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arshdeep Singh (PTI Photo) NEW DELHI: Punjab Kings (PBKS) pace spearhead Arshdeep Singh delivered a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12319,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[29869,1504,4412,29871,29868,4955,19199,695,29870,3252],"class_list":["post-12318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-100-wickets","tag-arshdeep-singh","tag-ipl-2026","tag-jaydev-unadkat","tag-left-arm-pacers","tag-mumbai-indians","tag-punjab-kings","tag-suryakumar-yadav","tag-trent-boult","tag-wankhede-stadium"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
