Ireland and the Indian team are slated to face off in a three-match T20I series beginning on August 18. Notably, there are several bowlers who have played quite proficiently and delivered spectacular in these encounters. On the same note, look out for the top three bowlers who collected the maximum number of wickets.
#3. 5 – Peter Chase
Irish star pacer Peter Chase collected five wickets against Team India. The great seamer’s best bowling mark occurred during the first T20I on June 27, 2018, where he scalped four wickets and restricted Team India to 208/5. Later, while chasing, all his efforts went in vain as his side could not chase the target and could only manage to rack up 132 runs in the given 20 overs, suffering a 76-run loss against a Virat Kohli-led Indian side.
#2. 7 – Kuldeep Yadav
Another star spinner, Kuldeep Yadav, had also scalped seven wickets against the Irish team. It was the year 2018 when Team India played against them under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. The great bowler had scalped 4 and 3 wickets in the first and second T20Is, respectively. Notably, the leg-spinner was awarded the Player of the Match award during the first T20I. He wasn’t part of Ireland’s tour in 2022. In addition, the 28-year-old is in stellar form and may play in an upcoming series with them.
#1. 7 – Yuzvendra Chahal
Indian star spinner Yuzvendra Chahal places himself in the top spot when it comes to scalping the maximum number of wickets against Ireland. The great bowler had accumulated seven wickets, grabbing six in 2018 and one in 2022. Notably, the leg spinner was awarded the Player of the Series award in 2018 as well as the Player of the Match award during the first T20I, as he picked up one wicket while conceding just 11 runs in 2022.
