Rashid Khan, Afghanistan’s cricket star, has become the first bowler in men’s cricket history to take 200 wickets in Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).
He reached the milestone on Thursday, October 29, during Afghanistan’s second match against Zimbabwe in Sharjah, dismissing Tadiwanashe Marumani in the ninth over.
The 28-year-old achieved the record in his 120th T20 International match.
Rashid has taken five wickets in an innings twice so far, with his best bowling figures being five wickets for three runs.
With 200 wickets, Rashid tops the list of leading wicket-takers in men’s T20 Internationals, 29 wickets ahead of England’s Adil Rashid.
In October last year, Rashid also became the first Afghan bowler to take 200 wickets in One Day Internationals (ODIs), achieving the milestone against Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi.
