Rashid Khan Records
The 600 T20 wickets that Rashid Khan has taken are an accomplishment. They are, however, arguably very few for someone with his talent and determination. He started playing T20 games in 2015, but within nine years he has gotten impressive records. Some statistics from his successful T20 career:
Matches: 347
Wickets: 600
Average: 17.50
Economy Rate: 6.38
Best Bowling Figures: 6/17
His notable achievements include impressive performances from various T20 leagues around the world, like the Indian Premier League (IPL), Big Bash League (BBL), and Caribbean Premier League (CPL). The demand for Rashid arises from his capability of coping with diverse conditions and consistently producing match-winning displays in t20 cricket.
Recalling this milestone, Rashid Khan thanked all his teammates, coaches, and fans. “Taking 600 wickets in T20 cricket is a dream come true. It has been a difficult but fulfilling journey, and I owe it all to family members, teammates, and supporters alike. This milestone will push me harder to work to achieve my best for the team.”
Rashid is expected to lead his country’s campaign against the opponent during the forthcoming T20I matches while looking forward to adding more wickets to his overall statistics.
Dwayne Bravo, who was the only other player to achieve this, has congratulated Rashid on his outstanding achievement. Joining the 600-wicket club is proof of his great effort; commitment and skill were extraordinary. I feel honored to see him accomplish this milestone and hope he will climb higher,” he said.
