The Kabul Tribune (KT)—Afghanistan’s T20 captain and star spinner, Rashid Khan, has reached another historic milestone, becoming the first bowler in world cricket to claim 700 wickets in T20 matches.
Rashid achieved the landmark during his 518th T20 appearance against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), further solidifying his reputation as one of the greatest bowlers in the shortest format of the game.
Throughout his T20 career, he has maintained an exceptional economy rate of 6.59 and an impressive bowling average of 18.50, underlining his consistency and dominance.
His best bowling figures in a single T20 match remain 6 wickets for 17 runs (6/17) — widely regarded as one of the most outstanding performances in the format.
