Rashid Khan, a standout in T20 cricket, has now achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the highest wicket-taker in the format’s history. The 26-year-old Afghan spinner surpassed Dwayne Bravo’s record of 631 wickets during a recent match against Paarl Royals in the SA20 qualifier 1. Rashid expressed his pride in this accomplishment, acknowledging Bravo as one of the best T20 bowlers and looking forward to continuing his success.
Having made his T20 debut in 2015, Rashid has since played close to 500 matches across various leagues worldwide, winning titles in the IPL and PSL. Known for his ability to deceive batters with his quick deliveries and unpredictable spin, Rashid has consistently kept oppositions under control with his skillful bowling. Despite his focus on creating pressure rather than solely taking wickets, Rashid’s batting prowess has also shone through, particularly in crucial moments like the IPL playoffs in 2018.
Recognizing his impact, Rashid’s IPL team, Gujarat Titans, retained him for a significant amount, showcasing his value as an all-round player. Rashid’s journey from a promising teenager to a record-breaking bowler and dynamic batsman has solidified his status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of T20 cricket.
