Surpassing shakib

Asia Cup Super Fours: Star Bangladesh seamer Mustafizur Rahman etched his name in cricket history by becoming the highest wicket-taker for his country in T20 Internationals, while also joining an elite global club of bowlers with 150 scalps in the format.

The left-arm pacer achieved the feat during Bangladesh’s Asia Cup Super Fours clash against India at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where he dismissed Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav to reach the landmark. In doing so, Rahman surpassed Shakib Al Hasan’s tally of 149 wickets to claim the record for Bangladesh.

The achievement places Mustafizur among the greats of T20I bowling. Rahman is only the fourth bowler in the world to register 150 wickets in the shortest format of the game.
