News India Live, Digital Desk: Cricket’s smallest and exciting format, T20 International, has now become a witness to a new emperor. Here the game changes on every ball and records break. Afghanistan’s magic spinner Rashid Khan has now become the highest wicket -taking bowler in T20I, ending the reign of years. Rashid, who danced to the batsmen with his revolving balls, named this crown, leaving behind New Zealand’s veteran fast bowler Tim Saudi.
In just 98 matches, the feat done by Saudi in 126 matches
This achievement of Rashid Khan is also special because he has achieved this place very fast. Recently, Rashid took this world record by taking 3 wickets in a Tri-Series match against UAE. Prior to this match, he was just 2 wickets away from Tim Southee’s record of 164 wickets. Rashid reached the top of this list with 165 wickets as soon as he took three wickets, it is surprising that Rashid did this feat in only 98 T20I matches, while Tim Saudi had to play 126 matches to take 164 wickets. This figure shows which status bowler Rashid is.
Who is in the list of top bowlers?
In this list, Tim Southee has come second with Rashid Khan reaching the summit. But the top 5 also includes many more legendary players who are consistently doing well.
- Rashid Khan (Afghanistan): 165 wickets
- Tim Southee (New Zealand): 164 wickets
- Ish Sodhi (New Zealand): 150 wickets
- Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh): 149 wickets
- Mustafizur Rahman (Bangladesh): 142 wickets
In this list, the dominance of two bowlers of New Zealand and Bangladesh is clearly visible. Bangladesh veteran all -rounder Shakib Al Hasan is also not far from this record and can upset with his spin anytime.
The world of T20 cricket is constantly changing and young players are giving a tough competition to the older generation veterans. Rashid Khan’s arrival at this peak at just 26 years of age proves that in the coming time he will take this record to even more high heights. ,[
