Shakib al Hasan became the fourth bowler to take 350 wickets in T20s during their sixth T20I of the tri-nation series against Afghanistan at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong Saturday.
Two Caribbean bowlers, Dwayne Bravo and Sunil Narine, and Lankan legend Lasith Malinga have reached this milestone before Shakib.
Among the teams Shakib took the wickets for are: Adelaide Strikers, Bangladesh, Bangladesh Cricket Board XI, Barbados Tridents, Dhaka Dynamites, Dhaka Gladiators, Jamaica Tallawahs, Karachi Kings, Khulna Division, Khulna Royal Bengals, Kolkata Knight Riders, Leicestershire, Melbourne Renegades, Peshawar Zalmi, Prime Bank Cricket Club, Rangpur Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Worcestershire.
Bangladesh’s premier all-rounder now has 350 T20 wickets from 302 matches.
He also has 4,859 runs in T20s, which makes him only the second player ever in history to take 350 wickets and score 4,500 runs in T20s after Bravo.
