Rashid Khan becomes the youngest bowler to take 400 T20 wickets

Afghanistan’s ace leg-spinner Rashid Khan further enhanced his burgeoning reputation in T20 cricket as he picked up his 400th wicket during his team’s T20 World Cup 2021 Super 12 encounter against New Zealand at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Dubai. Martin Guptill became Rashid’s 400th victim in T20 cricket. Rashid joined an elite list of cricketers as he picked up his 400th wicket in the ongoing New Zealand vs Afghanistan T20 World Cup game.  He is the 4th bowler to enter the 400 clubs after Dwayne Bravo (553), Sunil Narine (425), and Imran Tahir (420). Rashid became only the fourth bowler in history to achieve the remarkable feat. The 23-year-old spinner is now the quickest to reach the milestone, he achieved the landmark in his 289th T20 match.

Earlier, Rashid had become the fastest bowler to register 100 dismissals in Twenty20 Internationals during a T20 World Cup 2021 match against Pakistan. Rashid has 103 wickets for Afghanistan and 93 scalps for Sunrisers Hyderabad while the rest have come for the teams he plays for in different T20 tournaments around the world.
