Hasaranga Joins Elite T20I List, Becomes Second-fastest To 100 Wickets In Win Over Afghanistan
Wanindu Hasaranga: Sri Lankan spin sensation Wanindu Hasaranga on Monday became just the second Sri Lankan after Lasith Malinga to take 100 T20I wickets, achieving the feat during the second match of the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. Hasaranga became the eleventh player overall to breach the 100-wicket barrier in T20Is and the second fastest to achieve the milestone.
Wanindu Hasaranga breached the 100-wicket barrier during the second T20I against Afghanistan in Dambulla that Sri Lanka won by 72 runs.
The leg-spinner, who is currently the captain of the T20I side, now has more wickets than any other bowler in men's T20Is since his debut in 2019. Malinga is the only other Sri Lankan bowler to take more than 100 T20I wickets. While Malinga achieved the milestone in his 76th T20I, Hasaranga did so in his 63rd. This makes him the second-fastest to 100 T20I wickets after Rashid Khan, who achieved the same in 53 matches in 2021.
