Afghanistan cricket superstar Rashid Khan has made history by becoming the first-ever bowler to take 200 wickets in men’s Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket. The former Afghanistan captain achieved the remarkable milestone on Thursday during Afghanistan’s second T20I match against Zimbabwe in Sharjah, dismissing Tadiwanashe Marumani LBW for two runs in the ninth over. According to the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB), Rashid reached the historic landmark in his 120th T20I appearance, recording an impressive bowling average of 13.96 and an economy rate of 6.13. His outstanding T20I career also includes two five-wicket hauls, with best bowling figures of 5/3. With 200 wickets to his name, Rashid now leads the all-time men’s T20I wicket-taking chart by 29 wickets ahead of England’s Adil Rashid, who sits in second place. The Afghanistan Cricket Board celebrated the achievement, describing it as an incredible milestone in international cricket. Rashid previously became the first Afghan bowler to reach 200 wickets in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) during a match against Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi in October last year. The latest achievement further cements Rashid Khan’s place among the most successful T20 bowlers in international cricket and marks another proud moment for Afghanistan.
