Meet Gujarat Titans Star Who Became The Highest Wicket-Taker In History Of T20 News24 –

Afghanistan’s main Leg-spinner has left his marks in history in T20s by becoming the highest wicket-taker, and while he is just 26 years old he overtook West Indies’ part-time bowler Dwayne Bravo’s tally at 631 scalps when during SA20 Qualifier 1 on Tuesday when he dismissed Paarl Royals off Dunith Wellalage in the match at the Wanderers. He is none other than spin king Rashid Khan, he made his T20 debut in October 2015, and he has been a powerhouse of the format across global leagues, nearing an incredible 500 matches in tournaments such as the IPL, PSL, CPL, BPL, and The Hundred.

A Master Of Spin

Rashid’s bowling always remained distinctive as it could always bowl quick deceptive deliveries with a tinge of mystery. Often the batters cannot read him as he maintains variation, so it becomes hard to take a chance and makes the batters defend more than going for risks. He is developed into an exciting all-rounder and now he has started turning matches single-handedly. His snake shot, flicked yorker delivered with very impressive wrist work, makes him exciting to see batting at lower end.
