Prominent seamers Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Shah Afridi, along with batters Rohit Sharma, Glenn Maxwell, Phil Salt, and Jos Buttler as well as allrounder Hardik Pandya, did not make the list of ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year nominees. Notably, Rohit led India to victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup by defeating South Africa in the final.
Arshdeep Singh is the leading wicket-taker for India in T20Is in 2024. He stepped up in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, who played limited matches. Arshdeep picked up 36 wickets in 18 matches, the second-most by an Indian in a calendar year, just one behind Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s 37, achieved in 32 games.
Defending 177, he dismissed skipper Aiden Markram early and removed Quinton de Kock in the 13th over. He conceded just four runs while bowling the 19th over. His efforts increased the required rate, ultimately pressuring David Miller into losing his wicket and helping India secure their second T20 World Cup.

His innings helped Pakistan secure victory in just 17 overs, providing a crucial confidence boost ahead of the World Cup.
