Jasprit Bumrah vs Arshdeep Singh - comparing their T20 stats in the Asia Cup

For the first time, the pace duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh are set to feature together in the T20 format of the Asia Cup. The 2025 edition begins on September 9, with defending champions India placed in Group A alongside hosts UAE, Pakistan, and Oman.

Bumrah made his Asia Cup debut in the inaugural T20 edition in 2016, while Arshdeep had not yet broken into the side. In the 2022 edition, Arshdeep was part of India’s squad, but Bumrah missed the tournament due to injury.

This time, however, both pacers will once again spearhead India’s attack, just as they did in the 2024 T20 World Cup. Arshdeep remains India’s leading wicket-taker in T20Is, with 99 scalps in 63 matches, while Bumrah has 89 wickets from 70 outings.

With the countdown to the 2025 Asia Cup underway, let’s take a look at how the duo have performed in previous T20 Asia Cup editions.
