The left-arm pacer, Arshdeep Singh, has set an unwanted record in the second T20I between India and South Africa, which took place on Thursday in New Chandigarh. Arshdeep bowled a total of 13 deliveries in an over, which has never been seen in Indian bowling in a T20 International match. This over consisted of seven wides by Arshdeep, which also accounted for 18 runs. This over occurred in the 11th over of the innings of South Africa. How the Over Unfold The pressure accumulated moments before the error-ridden over. A massive six from de Kock put Arshdeep under pressure, and he found it difficult to get back into a rhythm. So, from that over, he bowled four legitimate deliveries and seven wides, all of which were to de Kock. A majority of these were attempted wide yorkers that were wide of their intended target, while the other targeted the stumps but overpitched to leg. As was pointed out by the commentators, “This over could go on forever…,” since Arshdeep was not able to mark the line and de Kock was putting pressure.

Arshdeep has equaled that of Naveen-ul-Haq, which came for Afghanistan against Zimbabwe in Harare in 2024. Along with this, Arshdeep has also broken the previous Indian record. Prior to this, the longest overs by Indian bowlers were 11-ball overs, which were bowled by Khaleel Ahmed and Hardik Pandya. Khaleel went for a over in 2021 against Sri Lanka in Pallekele, whereas Pandya bowled a long over in 2016 in Adelaide. Longest Overs Bowled in T20I Matches (Full Member Nations) Here are the longest overs bowled in Twenty20 Internationals for players from Full-Member nations: 13 balls - Naveen-ul-Haq vs Zimbabwe, Harare, 2024 13 balls - Arshdeep Singh vs South Africa, Mullanpur, 2025 12 balls - Sisanda Magala vs Pakistan, Johannesburg, 2021 Arshdeep's over now shares a common spot on this rare but undesired list. Nonetheless, this record will not affect the pacer as he prepares to make a speedy return, since he has been a vital part of India’s T20I squad.
