IND vs NZ 2026: Top 3 wicket-takers from T20I series | CricTracker

India clinched the five-match T20I series against New Zealand with a thumping 4-1 margin. It was a clinical performance from the hosts, just before the start of the T20 World Cup 2026. 

The series was the last T20I assignment for both the teams ahead of the marquee event, and they left no stone unturned. While it was a breathtaking display of power hitting from the batters, there were some bowlers who were successful in picking up wickets in high-scoring affairs.

Here are the top 3 wicket-takers from the T20I series between India and New Zealand:

3. Mitchell Santner 

Even though the New Zealand skipper was not at his absolute best, he managed to be one of the top three wicket-takers in the series. Santner shone in New Zealand’s sole victory in the series, taking three wickets for just 26 runs from his four overs. 

Mitchell Santner finished as third-highest wicket-taker of the series, picking up five wickets in as many innings, albeit a high economy rate of 11.86. For the most part of the series, he was not able to complete his quota of four overs, majorly because of the presence of two lefties, Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma.
